BEST PICTURE
1. Charlie Wilson's War-Out of all the early contenders, this one seems most likely. Oscar friendly cast and director...it's in for now.
2. The Kite Runner-Marc Forster is a pretty reliable filmmaker and the plot to this sounds very baity.
3. There Will be Blood-Daniel Day-Lewis has a knack for picking great movies. The plot to this sounds a little shaky, but I'm pretty confident.
4. Sweeney Todd-I didn't want to hop on the bandwagon, but, like Daniel-Day Lewis, Johnny Depp picks good projects. However, anything Sondheim always looks good on paper. And there are some unverified rumors that his singing is...subpar to say the least. I'm very nervous about this one.
5. Atonement-Like The Kite Runner, "Atonement" will have a hard time living up to the popular novel it is based upon. We'll see.

IN THE RUNNING
6. American Gangster-A baity premise, but it's hard to rely on Ridley Scott, Russel Crowe and Denzel Washington anymore.
7. My Blueberry Nights-If it succeeds at Cannes, expect this to be the sleeper comedy of the year.
8. The Savages-The trailer was fantastic, and it could end up doing quite well. Looks funny, no?
9. The Other Boleyn Girl-The feeling of this being a success is slowly waring off.
10. Lions for Lambs-We'll wait for reviews on this one.
