Top 10 Best Picture Nominees and Love Lessons
1. Black Swan – Natalie Portman
What we learned about love in this movie is that you have to be confident in your own skin to let love in.

Sometimes a break-up can be the best thing that ever happened to you, and result in a billion dollar idea.

Leonardo’s obession with his widow taught us that you shouldn’t let your lost loves dominate your thoughts to such an extreme.
