Oscar Nominated Films at the Library

If you’re like me, you stayed up far too late last night watching the 79th Academy Awards. It’s an annual ritual that I look forward to.

Did you know that the Library has ordered many of the Oscar nominated movies for this year and plans to purchase others as they become available?

The Audiovisual Center on A Level of Eisenhower has an ever growing collection of popular, independent, and avant garde movies available for you to check out or watch in the Library.

So while you’re waiting for movies such as Little Miss Sunshine to arrive and after you’ve watched Al Gore’s documentary, An Inconvenient Truth (DVD 2456), check out some of the past Oscar nominated movies owned by Eisenhower. For example, we own all of last year’s nominees for best picture: Brokeback Mountain (DVD 2086); Capote (DVD 2104); Crash (DVD 2167); Good Night, and Good Luck (DVD 2105); and Munich (DVD 2273). Happy viewing!
