Michelle Obama's top Oscar pick is, appropriately, very presidential.
"Of course, [I] love 'Lincoln' - the family watched that," the first lady said during an interview with Rachael Ray airing on Ray's talk show Wednesday.
Obama is also a fan of historical drama "Argo" - which she saw a few weeks ago with daughter Malia - and "Beasts of the Southern Wild," starring 9-year-old Quvenzhané Wallis, the youngest Academy Award nominee ever.
"One of our family favorites is 'Beasts of the Southern Wild,'" Obama said.
"That was really amazing. We just had the cast here at the White House."
