The Iron Lady, Hugo among Oscar nominees playing at Claremont Laemmle this weekend

Those looking to catch a few nominated flicks before Oscar makes his debut in 2012 are in luck. Claremont Laemmle is featuring 5 Oscar hopefuls on its screens this weekend.

The 84th Academy Awards takes place Sunday, February 26.

Selections featured at the Laemmle this weekend include Albert Nobbs and The Iron Lady, Glenn Close and Meryl Streep nominated for best actress, respectively. Viewings of Best Picture-nominees The Descendents, Hugo and the Artist will also be available.
