Best Picture: Les Miserables

I'm not much for musicals but Tom Hooper's Les Miserables is absolutely stunning. All of the actors are dazzling. Who knew that Russell Crowe could sing?

Anne Hathaway completely gives every iota of her heart and soul to her portrayal of Fantine and I have to admit I was moved to tears by her performance. It was devastating.

I remember how I rolled my eyes when I saw the trailer and thinking, "Again, with this story?" Boy, was I wrong!
