2013 is almost in the books, and Oscar season has begun. Most guilds have announced their nominations, and in a few week's time most of those guilds will have also presented their award winners, which will lead us to the one that ultimately matters most, the nominations and winners of the Academy Awards. There will be plenty of great films to watch, performances to marvel at, screenplays to watch unfold. However, right now I want to take a break from 2013. What about 2012? There were quite a number of great films that year that didn't get a lot of awards love, for one reason or another. In some cases here, I don't necessarily think the films were Oscar-worthy, but I just feel they were and are underrated. I don't specifically mean the blockbusters like The Avengers or The Dark Knight Rises. They were great films too, but most people probably have seen those. I want to highlight some that didn't have those $300M box office grosses. So before we fast-forward to the 2013 awards, let's rewind to 2012...
