Of the 20, I saw 3 in the Theater in 2010:
• Avatar (84)
• Invictus (74)
• Shutter Island (62)
I wouldn't nominate any of these movies (or performances in them) for a Steve.

I saw these 3 on DVD in 2010:
• Inglourious Basterds (69)
• Julie & Julia (65)
• Rocknrolla (53)
I liked Basterds and expect that Chris Waite would get a Steve nom as best supporting actor. I liked the others, too, but not as much.

2009 in the Theater
• Angels and Demons (48)
• Star Trek (83)
• Public Enemies (70)
• Bruno (54)
• Hurt Locker, The (93)
• Up (88)
• X-Men Origins: Wolverine (43).
I would give a thumbs down to Bruno and Angels and Demons. Hurt Locker and Up are at the top of the class.

Ancient Past
• Lives of Others, The (89)
• Ratatouille (96)
• A Mighty Heart (74)
• Appaloosa (64)
• Blades of Glory (64)
• Gangs of New York (72)
• Transsiberian (72).
I couldn't finish Appaloosa, so it gets a thumbs down. Gangs of New York didn't impress me that much. I liked all the others, especially The Lives of Others.
