Where to See Academy Award Nominees Before Oscar Night

The nominees for the 85th Annual Academy Awards were announced Thursday, giving movie-goers a little more than six weeks to catch up on the year's top films. This year's Best Picture list is nine motion-pictures-long.

AMC Essex Green Cinema has three of the top movies playing while the rest are a short drive away. 

But Pittsburgh is the closest place to catch Beasts of the Southern Wild, an independent fantasy drama made on a meager $1.8 million budget. 

Still there's a good chance you can catch most of the acclaimed films in time for Oscar night, Sunday, Feb. 24.
