Even though Ben Affleck fetched the Best Director award in almost all the award ceremonies this year, he will not feature in the nomination list of Best Director category at the 85th Academy Awards.Ang Lee won his first academy award for 'Brokeback Mountain' in 2005 and is being considered as a strong contender at this year's Oscars. Lee's visually spectacular 'Life Of Pi' wasn't an easy film to shoot. Based on a book by the same name, the mid-sea odyssey of survival and companionship has also been nominated in 'Best Film' actor. David O Rusell's 'Silver Lining Playbook' is the only light hearted film which has got a Oscar nod in several categories including 'Best Director', 'Best Film', 'Best Actor (Male) and 'Best Actor (Female)'.

Of the nine films nominated in the Best Picture category, here is why you should watch some and give the others a pass. A favourite this awards season, Ben Affleck's 'Argo' is just the kind of movie that is needed in this day and age. Based on a true incident when six Americans were miraculously rescued by CIA from Iran during the peak of Iran hostage crisis, 'Argo' gives an amazing glimpse of a society that can work towards if everyone is willing to give it a shot. David O'Rusell's 'Silver Lining Playbook' seems like an unlikely choice in the Best Film nomination list. While other nominees are primarily drama, 'Silver Lining Playbook' is romantic-comedy. Many of the critics have panned the film and called it too superficial and frothy. Will it get an Oscar nod or not is something we will have to wait and watch but its lead actors- Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper are being considered as strong contenders to clinch the trophy of Best Actress and Best Actor category respectively.Katheryn Bigelow's 'Zero Dark Thrity' is based on how American troupes raided Osama Bin Laden's hideout in Pakistan and eventually killed the world's most dreaded terrorist. The war docu-drama is a very detailed film- something which is needed when one is making a film based on real life incident. The film is seen through the eyes of Maya (Jessica Chastain), a female CIA officer handling the case. It also gives out a powerful message of how a woman calls the shots in world full of men.
