As of right now, with the majority of oscar contenders at least having been reviewed or receiving awards from the sattelites or the nbr's, I have to wonder whether or not this isnt one of the most heated races in a while.
You have Slumdog Millionaire and Ben Button as the preconcieved frontrunners, The Dark Knight was arguably THE FILM of 2008, Milk and Frost/Nixon have both received raves and are relevant as of this year and Milk is already a limmited release succsess. Revolutionary Road has gotten amazing reviews and films like Doubt, Defiance, The wrestler and Wall-E have as well. Even Gran Torino snuck out of nowhere to dominate the National Board of Review, Eastwood picking up two top 10 spots, a best actor award for himself and a screenplay award for Nick Schenk.
Such a crowd of films like this would have been commen place in september or October a few years back, however we are nearly a week into December with one of the most crowded plates ever.
So how do we sort something like this out ?
