The 84th Annual Academy Awards are on Sunday, and since six out of nine of the Best Picture nominees are based on books . . . I thought we’d do a little book-to-film celebrating!
Keep scrolling for trailers of all nine Best Picture nominees, along with corresponding book tie-in information (when applicable). Which movie are you pulling for? What movie-based-on-a-book got snubbed? (Ahem, We Need to Talk About Kevin.)

I just saw The Artist last night and I absolutely loved it. It’s everything you want in a movie, but more so, it makes you realize why you love movie-going. Wednesday I’m seeing the Descendants. I honestly think the Best Picture award is a toss up between these two flicks. Moneyball and Midnight in Paris were fantastic, though, too.
