I saw almost all of the big ones, and I still have yet to see Zero Dark Thirty -- but the one that stood out as the best was Life of Pi. It's the kind of movie that needs to be experienced in a theater. If it's still playing anywhere near you in IMAX3d, go see it.
Lincoln was great too.
there were a few little movies I really like this year, although I wouldn't say they're oscar worthy --
