I love the awards, I have never seen anything with the contenders, the nominees prior to the awards, I just may have to do that! Thanks!
I rarely turn on the TV anymore–I generally have my nose in a book! Maybe this year I will remember to watch the awards ceremony–Some of those movies do sound intriguing.
I only manage to watch tv some nights never get time really which is a shame.
I have only seen 2 of the movies on that list – and they were both kids movies. I don’t have time to watch movies. A two hour commitment is a big deal for me LOL.
I know that 12 years a slave and American Hustle are great movies.
I’d like to see Jared Leto win for Best Supporting Actor. I had such a crush on him when I was a teenager. I haven’t seen all the nominated films yet, just Captain Phillips.
Tom Hanks in Captain Phillips will be who I’m rooting for! This movie deserves so many awards!

I would like for Matthew McConaughey to win Best Actor in Leading Role and for Jared Leto to win Best Actor in Supporting Role, They really deserve to win!

Mr McConaughey please!
I am a fan of your plan curling up at home. And truth be told I have a lot if movie catching up to do
Yay with Despicable Me – they deserve it!
I would enjoy Movies on Demand. I use my PVR so often to watch all my saved favorite shows as I can never watch it when it is live. Its good to know that, I can watch movies whenever I have some free time 🙂
As much as I would enjoy movies on demand, I just cant afford it so I use Netflix. But I am sending my mother this way because she has cable!
I’ve only seen one movie on the list, and heard of two others, so I can’t really judge lol.
The Croods, Despicable Me 2, and Star Trek were really good in my opinion. I have not seen the others though.
My favorite would be Despicable Me 2. Such a funny and cute story!
I like Jennifer Lawrence who won a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture for American Hustle

I’ve seen a few of those movies, and a couple of them 100 plus times it seems (gotta love kids) I don’t watch much TV….
I have not seen any of those movies yet. But I want to watch The Croods with my boys
I really enjoyed watching Dispicable Me2 with my kiddos. There are so many great movies out there as well as actors and directors. I really like Zoe Saldana.
Sounds great! I love being able to watch the movies before the awards! I will have to check them out!
I honestly had no clue that A Star Trek movie was made until I received it in the mail. I will have to watch it now that I know they have such great visuals.
I am a fan of Sandra Bullock, hoping both Gravity and she get the Academy Awards this year.
I like the flexibility of Cable on Demand. I love those movies you listed. Seriously some great ones like Star Trek and Despicable me 2!
There are some great movies listed there. We don’t do Cable on demand, but maybe we should
We do have cable but I don’t watch many movies. Not sure why because I like them, it just seems I don’t have time.
There is a movie that will be coming out in March with Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly titled, Noah. It sure looks like it will be a top notch film for 2014 that I expect to win all kind of awards.
I really hope that 12 years a slave wins big because it was a moving film beyond words.
I love watching movies on demand so many great perks. I enjoyed watching Despicable Me 2. The only one i’ve seen on this list.
I love movies on demand. We watch them all the time!
I don’t usually watch movies, but I thought The Croods was really cute. I wasn’t as impressed with Lone Ranger as I had hoped to be.
I have such a love for movies – I love sitting down and taking one in I have a bit of a soft sport for Despicable Me 2
I really like Prisoners and The Act of Killing. Great films.
I would have to vote for the Despicable Me movie! I just loved it. We watch a family movie every Saturday night and sometimes more!
My boys watch MOD all the time, I never get the remote or I probably would watch a few as well. It is so nice to not have to return movies.
i have not seen 12 years a slave and wolf of wall street and i really want to see both movies and love dicaprio.
The Croods was really awesome and Despicable Me 2 was really funny! I have only been watching kid movies lol.
One of my favorite actors is Joaquin Phoenix. I really want to see Her, which was nominated for some awards.
I was a big fan of “American Hustle” and the performances of Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, but my favorite film that’s winning awards has got to be “!2 Years a Slave” – what a powerful, heartwrenching movie!

Sounds great. I usually don’t have time to watch so this will be something I can use.
I love the Croods, such a cute movie. I really want to see American Hustle.
I liked Captain Phillips. I really like Tom Hanks.
I loved Tom Hanks in Capt. Philips!! Even my kids were into the movie.
I haven’t seen any of the movies nominated this year. I do love Tom Hanks in just about anything he is in. I look forward to watching these movies at home on DVD.
I am so lame I haven’t seen all of the movies nominated this year.
I want to see Captain Phillips with Tom Hanks and Dallas Buyers Club.
I just watched Captain Philips on demand over the weekend. It was so good, and his acting was amazing!!!
I actually enjoy going out to the movies. I do that with my kids all the time. I have watched a few of those featured
I am always happy to see Jennifer Lawrence win! And I think everybody involved in *Twelve Years a Slave* deserves recognition.
i really wanna see Dallas Buyers Club. looks good
We love using our On Demand feature on our tv! The kids like to watch certain shows on their time.. not when they are actually scheduled. Its also great to watch a movie or 2 when we have time!
I couldn’t begin to say what my favorite movies for the year were. I don’t think I watched that much movies last year. Hopefully this year is different. I also don’t do much on demand either.
I don’t have a favorite of the year but I do need to catch up on some movies… TY for the reminder as I always forget about MOD.

I think the Hunger Games deserves an award. Those movies are great and go along really well with the books I think.
I like 12 Yeas a Slave because this movie is pretty powerful. I hope it wins the awards
I would love to see Tom Hanks for Captain Phillips! This is one movie I cannot wait to see! I think Tom Hanks always puts so much into each film he does and is just an incredible actor!
Dallas Buyers Club looks like a great movie. I love Matthew McConaughey he is such a great actor!
I really think that Mathew McConaughey should win for best actor. He so deserves it, great acting.
i saw 12 years a slave and it definitely deserved the awards its already won, I’m sure it will win more.
I’m hoping Jared Leto wins for best supporting actor. He so deserves it.
Entered your Rejuvenator Microbubble Shower Head giveaway.
I’d like to see Captain Phillips, Despicable Me 2, and Prisoners win awards this season.
I entered your Lysol giveaway.
I Think Dallas Buyers Club Will Do Well, Also Matthew McConaughey And Jared Leto Will Take Awards This Season.
I would love to see Matthew McConaughey win for Dallas Buyers Club. I haven’t checked who is up for awards but I sure would like to see Sandra Bullock win for Gravity as well.
I really like Tom Hanks in Captain Phillips. He would be a good one to win an award.
I read the book and loved Wolf of Wall Street with Leo! I am so happy that has been nominated so many times because it was such a great movie!
Well, I personally loved the movie Last Vegas with Morgan Freeman and Michael Douglas. It was hilarious and I think more awards should be given for movies that make you laugh and feel good.
I think that Jared Leto
and Matthew McConaughey should win for Dallas Buyers Club because they are great actors and had to lose a lot of weight for that part.
I really like Dallas Buyers Club and Despicable Me 2 out of that list. Thank you for the nice giveaway!
I entered your Walgreens Giveaway
I entered your Walgreens giveaway. Thanks!
I think 12 years a slave should win best picture because the movie is very deep and tells a true story regarding one man’s fight for survival and freedom.
There is alot of good movies out this yr.. want to really see labor day.. that looks like an awesome movie… gimmie shelter is another one waiting to see… along with the new fast n furious movie..
What are some of your top actors and films to win awards this season
Dallas Buyers Club,gravity…Matthew McConaughey for sure
I really think 12 years a slave and captain phillips have a great shot at winning, because these are based on actual events and transitioned beautifully to film

I would like to see Dallas Buyers Club win as well as Matthew McConaughey. There were many great movies this past year!

I really liked Star Trek Into Darkness. I’m not much of a Star Trek fan, but I really enjoyed the movie!
I’ve seen Prisoners and loved Jake Gyllenhall (spelling?) it it. He’s come a long way and gets better as he gets older Rosanne
I have to go with Gravity and Captain Phillips. I thought the acting jobs in both those movies were amazing. Especially with Gravity. They had to make the move with the power of their acting and without a lot of other support.
I want to see Captain Phillips and Dallas Buyers Club
I entered the $100 Walgreens Gift Card giveaway
I have only seen one of the nominated films: Star Trek. I really enjoyed it and the special effects deserve an Oscar.
Thanks for the contest.

I think Matthew Mcconaughey will win for Dallas Buyers Club. I also think 12 Years a Slave should win for Best Picture.
American Hustle has been nominated but I have not seen it yet. I am fan of Jennifer Lawrence so I would like to see win.
I haven’t seen any movies lately. I normally like Tom Hanks movies, but I’m really not sure if I would like Captain Phillips. I don’t think the movies I like normally get any awards! LOL
My husband and I haven’t been to the movies in a while. But I’d really love to see Wolf of Wall Street. Leo D always puts on a great performance and should always be nominated
Dallas Buyers Club was great and I always like Jake Gyllenhaal.
I’m hoping that Leonardo DiCaprio wins this year.
I am rooting for Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio.
I would like Despicable Me 2 to win. I would also like Star Trek to win–I enjoyed watching both of these movies.
I think 12 years a Slave should win for Best Picture, I have not seen any of the other films that have been nominated.
My top actor to win is Tom Hanks. I love the movie Captain Phillips.
I entered the Jord Wooden watch giveaway. Have a great day.
I love Tom Hanks in Captain Phillips but I also love American Hustle and 12 years a slave
I want to see American Hustlers and I want to see Jennifer Lawrence win best Supporting Actor in that movie!
I really enjoyed American Hustle and Gravity sandra bullock was awesome
i want to see lupita in 12 years a slave. i have been waiting to see it but she looks like such a terrific actress.
I love Sandra Bullock and want to see Gravity

I’m expecting “12 Years A Slave” to take several honors at the Acadamy Awards this year. I also think that Leonardo DiCaprio should take home an award this year.
I really think that 12 years a slave should win a lot and I think that Meryl Streep should win best actress for her role in August: Osage County.
I think Leonardo DiCaprio needs an award. He is one of my very favorite actors. I also really enjoyed 12 years a slave. It truly is a tough pick!
I loved Sandra Bullock this year. she rocked the Gravity. And i so amazed with the roles Matthew McConaueghty is able to play.
