With planning and pre-nomination educated guesses we were able to see every film in the top 6 categories. We only needed to see 4 movies in the theatre. All the rest we saw on DVD or streaming. This chart helped us plan when to return Netflix DVDs to maximize the chance to get popular new releases and avoid the dreaded "Short Wait" status.
