Best Picture Oscar Winners Category: 11th March 2010

After a break upon reaching our first milestone of 100 movies watched in the 2009 Movie Challenge we, the gang at The Movie Challenge,  have returned for 2010 and what better time to do so than the week of the Oscars.  This year we are on a new blog site and we have a few more changes coming but expect from us in 2010 the same old routine of picking movie categories and reviewing movies within that category every week.  And so to begin 2010 with our new category.  Oscar Best Picture winners.  This weeks movies include Braveheart, Titanic, A Beautiful Mind, Crash, No Country for Old Men, Slumdog Millionaire and the 2010 Best Picture Oscar winning movie.
