The answer would be, um, Oscar season?

That's right - forget Christmas and Wedding season (which season is that, exactly...Spring?), Oscar season is upon us! This morning, the Academy announced their nominations for the 83rd Academy Awards. Most of the nominations are no surprise and in my opinion, are popular films to begin with. Sure, you've got the signature indie films that slipped into the nominations, but three of the ten films nominated for Best Picture have grossed more than $200 million worldwide (The Social Network - $208,608,473; Inception - $823,576,195; Toy Story 3 - $1,063,161,943). A few other ones are almost at the $100 million mark as well. Here are the top category nominations followed by a link to the full list. Enjoy!!
