For what it’s worth (which is nothing), here is my list of the top 10 films of 2012. And while I’m not usually in sync with “The People,” The People’s Choice Awards last week agreed with my choice for No. 1, which went completely ignored by the Oscars:

1. The Perks of Being a Wallflower
2. Django Unchained
3. Argo
4. The Impossible
5. Seven Psychopaths
6. The Sapphires
7. Life of Pi
8. Lincoln
9. Zero Dark Thirty
10. Moonrise Kingdom

Honorable mention:
The Hunger Games
We Need to Talk About Kevin

Due diligence: I have not yet seen the following:
Les Miserables
Amour
The Master
Rust and Bone
Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

Biggest disappointments based on media expectations/Hollywood hype:
Silver Linings Playbook
Hitchcock

Final thought:
Watch “We Need to Talk About Kevin” and “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” back to back. Ezra Miller, just 20 years old, may be the best new actor of his generation.
