I couldn't agree more. To me, it was the best film of last year. And I've seen all the films that are nominated for Best Picture.

It is depressing that this film isn't getting noticed as much as it should. I have seen all the movies up for Best Picture nomination and let me tell you it was definitely one of my favorites of the year next to Inception. Don't get me wrong Colin Firth does deserve an Oscar for The King's Speech but the fact of the matter is James Franco showed more emotion in 127 Hours than any of the nominees in that category hands down.
