Nominations for the second annual MOVIE GURU AWARDS

It's been a quiet month in Hollywood. The Oscar race hasn't really changed, the box office has been affected by a series of massive winter storms and the main stories have been the deaths of Philip Seymour Hoffman and Shirley Temple. And while I probably will write something about Temple at some point, the lack of news coming from the Hollywood system has made me not have much to write about. However, I just remembered something that I did last year that I had a lot of fun with: The Movie Guru Awards. My own personal awards show where the only voter is me. And while I still haven't seen Her or Dallas Buyers Club, I felt that now was the right time to release my nominations for the second annual Movie Guru Awards. Here we go.
