Award Nominees on Home Video: Part I

Awards season has begun as the nominations of various legit,  collegiate, professional, ersatz, and pretentiously contrived organizations start to announced their best-of tallies for the mighty year 2012.

It’s still too early for most nominees to have home video dates – many are still in theatrical distribution or have yet to go wide – but here’s a tally of the main awards & nominees with handy-dandy home video links near the end.

Coming next: a long and especially windy review of Otto Preminger’s underrated (and perhaps unintentional) satire of pretentious spoiled rich brat melodramas, Bonjour tristesse, released in a gorgeous Blu-ray from Twilight Time.
