Random Entertainment Discussion: 8/7/2009

With exactly 7 months until the Academy Awards (and just under 6 months 'til nominations are announced), why don't we play a little game. Based on just the films you've seen, the trailers you've seen, and just your general gut feeling, list what you think will be the 10 films nominated for best picture next year (or list as many as you want, up to 10). Then, on Feb. 2, I'll go ahead and bump this thread and we can all see how we did. I understand this is incredibly early, but that's the fun of it:

The Hurt Locker
Up
An Education
Up in the Air
The Lovely Bones
A Serious Man
Shutter Island
Invictus
Agora
Amelia

Wildcards: Where the Wild Things Are, The Burning Plain

[Daigle lol]

The Hurt Locker
The Lovely Bones
Shutter Island
Precious
Nine
Amelia
Mandela
The Informant
Where The Wild Things Are
The Road

Wild cards: The White Ribbon, Up, Taking Woodstock (Ang Lee always seems to do well at the Oscars, but I haven't heard great things about it)

You talking about the one with Daniel Day Lewis or the animated one?

Daniel Day Lewis.. It's the same guy that did Chicago, and he won Best Picture with that movie.. So I think he's an automatic lock for a nomination
