Not much to say here. This is just my Top 10 List, published several weeks ago, with one change. The Secret World of Arrietty, which placed #5 on my list, is ineligible under Academy rules (it came out too long ago in Japan, its place of origin), so I have removed it and instead included Zero Dark Thirty, my #1 runner-up for the year. Of these titles, I would say three or four have a legitimate shot at a nomination. The rest will just have to make do with this imaginary accolade.
