AMPAS has created quite a monster with it's 10  :rolleyes: slots for Best Picture consideration.  Take a look with me at some of the hopefuls for 2009:

Shutter Island/Scorsese

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdumGs1qoXM

Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Kingsley, Mark Ruffalo, Max Von Sydow, Michelle Phillips

I hate Lehane crap, but this is Marty.



Agora/Amenabar

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u50zEun07b4

Rachel Weisz (not a fan)

Alexandria.



Precious/Daniels

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rx-3jYJkUWQ

Gabourey Sidibe, Mo'Nique, Mariah Carey

Big early word on this one from the film festivals, consider it a serious contender for a nomination, and get ready for Oscar nominee Mo'Nique (as the abusive Mother.)



The Road/Hillcoat

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbLgszfXTAY

Viggo Mortensen, Charlize Theron, Robert Duvall

Author Cormac McCarthy's post-apocalyptic road show would not normally be Oscar bait, but Esquire magazine has given it a huge rave.  10 slots.


Nine/Marshall

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_5_lzags3I

Legend Daniel Day Lewis, Legend Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Judy Dench, Goldie Hawn's daughter, Fergie  :lol:, and Miss Sophia Loren.

I hate musicals, but Legend Day Lewis and Legend Kidman will get me front seat, opening night for this one.


Invictus /Eastwood



Morgan Freeman, Matt Damon

Eastwood looks at Mandela.


The Lovely Bones/Jackson

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=js3U2RwmPTs

Mark Walhberg, Rachel Weisz, Briony, Susan Sarandon, and Stanley Tucci

Peter Jackson adapts some beloved novel.

I hadn't seen a few of those trailers yet. I like the looks of Shutter Island and Lovely Bones. (It was a very good novel actually.)
:p

Holy Crap that looks AWESOME!
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Having read the book, so far the trailers have made it look pretty damned awful.

I agree, but supposedly the trailers are not representative of the actual movie.  The article I read claimed that none of the apocalypse scenes in the trailer are in the movie  :unsure:

I have extremely high hopes for it, which means it will probably crash and burn. -_-

I'm still waiting for someone to make A Canticle for Leibowitz into a movie. :(
