For the third year in a row, Mitch is posting reviews of all five films nominated for Best Picture in the week before the Oscar presentations. And for the third year in a row, he tells our readers tonight that he has the unfortunate duty to review a film that had absolutely no business being nominated. Kate Winslet has been hailed for her performance in "The Reader", a role she is up for Best Actress for. But Mitch says not even her performance could save this film.
