Mom gift--new gloves? bath goodies in a basket? a blanket you throw across yourself while watching tv (my stepmom gave me one last year and I love it).....a new purse? socks? the softest bathrobe on Earth from Bath and Body Works? a fruit basket?
Can't help much on the gift ideas; my folks and I long ago stopped exchanging holiday gifts to save our sanity. Sorry :-(
I am intrigued by your Academy Award Best Pictures viewing marathon though, and took a look at a listing of past winners. I have seen more than I thought, although some are rather dim memories. The list I looked at also had the other nominees listed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Picture) and I found myself wondering "what the hell were they thinking" or else "oooh tough call" on quite a few years :-)
What types of things does your mom like? My mom is hard to buy for also. It is hard to buy for someone who can just get whatever they want when they want! So I took to making photo calendars and that was a hit.
hmm, I personally think that some of the songs in the Music Man are brilliant but, alas, it never won best picture. Too bad because I've seen it a bazillion times.

They even sent me a red envelope to send the gift notification in.
Probably because if they sent it themselves, they'd send it from Phoenix and it wouldn't get there for four days.

My Fair Lady over Dr. Strangelove, for example.
It's been very interesting and quite useful for pub trivia too.
