  You shouldnt, in the sense it wont make you enjoy or hate the movie anymore or less etc.
  
  But, I pay attention, because, by and large, I enjoy the films which are nominated. Usually disagree with the winners though lol

  Per the usual, only one of those I would even care to watch, American Sniper. Of course, the local theatre wont have it this weekend so I must drive an hour to see it.

  I cannot remember a year where I have seen zero of the best picture nominees. Probably more a reflection on how little i go to the movies than anything else.

  I've seen Whiplash (loved it) and will be seeing American Sniper, Birdman and The Imitation Game in the next week or so. I try to see as many of the best picture films as possible, and I usually do enjoy them.

  I dont even think the local theatre has even shown any of those movies!
  
  Sniper will be there next week as it just comes out tomorrow.

  The Oscars have no bearing on how good a movie really is..............................to me, that is.

  I haven't seen any of these movies either, though I thought most of them looked good.
