Oscar Nominees - DVD, HD DVD, Blu-ray Release List
Here come the Oscars!
Trying to catch the movies that are up for Oscars is a chore. When the Oscar nominations are out most of the movies haven’t been released to DVD yet. A few are still loitering in theaters but most have long moved on to that no-viewers-land between theatrical release and disc media release.
This year we’ll try to make it easier with a list of all the major nominations including Best Picture, Best Actor/Actress and Best Supporting Actor/Actress. The list includes the film’s respective high-def formats if applicable and release dates.
After all - we’ll need something to do after the Super Bowl.
