The only nominated film my bro-in-law got via screener this year was The Rabbit Hole. Bunch of others, but no noms. (Oh, The Social Network, but I'm just gonna rent the DVD when it comes out next week instead of borrowing the screener).
Of the screeners I did get, I was most pleasantly surprised by The Hereafter, which was far better than I'd heard - though with a structure I can understand didn't go over well with mainstream audiences.
I'm also kinda ashamed to say I really liked the Ridley Scott / Russell Crowe / Cate Blanchett version of Robin Hood. Oh, and I Love You, Phillip Morris was a hoot.
Let's see, of the noms, I'm going to have to find time to see The Fighter, The King's Speech, Winter's Bone, Blue Valentine, and Biutiful.
Oh, plus 2 films I've never even heard of - Animal Kingdom and Unstoppable if I want to be uber-inclusive of everything theatrical in English.
Edited to add: Oh, I see The Hereafter was nommed for visual effects. So technically, I saw 2 nommed films via screener this season.
