The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Ceán Chaffin, Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall)
The Dark Knight (Christopher Nolan, Charles Roven, Emma Thomas)

What do these awards tell us ? For one thing, I think we are looking at our Best Picture lineup as well as the nominees for Best Animated Feature.
These awards however are meaningless to these films unless they also recieve a coveted Directors Guild nomination on Thursday, the holy grail for films with Best Picture aspirations.
