I viewed 85 2011 releases, including all the Best Pic Noms as well as everything that piqued my interest or received enough positive notice that I thought I should see. Below I show which of the nominees I would pick to win the Oscar for most categories. If I have not had the chance to view the majority of the nominees in a category, I did not make a choice. Also, the following films which are represented in categories in which I do make choices, I either chose not to or was not able to view due to availability: Albert Nobbs, The Iron Lady, Bridesmaids, Transformers: Dark of the Moon and A Separation.
