Best Picture...

What movie do you think will win best picture?

It should be the Dark Knight (no explanation) or Defiance (Starring Daniel Craig [James Bond], Directed by Edward Zwick [The Last Samurai, Glory, Blood Diamond] about three Jewish brothers who take Jews into the Belrussian forests during WWII, and end up saving thousands of Jews by the wars end]), but it's going to be Milk, the movie with Sean Penn about Gay Rights, because all the gays in Hollywood will vote for it.

Most likely Dark Knight. They are going to win a shitload of awards this year.

The Dark Knight shouldn't win, just for the fan response alone. Apparently The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is going to win it but, based on the trailer alone, I want The Wrestler to do it.

Wait, what is this thread even about?

The Dark Knight will not win Best Picture or even be nominated. It's a fantastic movie but the Oscars never nominate these summer blockbusters. Let alone a superhero movie. That's just the way it is.

I honestly hope genre has nothing to do with selecting nominations -- because the trailer was simply fantastic."

I agree. I'm hoping the fact that it's about wrestling doesn't get in the way of it being supposedly a powerful film. I say supposedly as I haven't seen it yet but everywhere loves it. Most recently, Empire magazine gave it 5 stars."

Being released in limited theaters on the 17th (which would probably give it the chance to garner awards) and everywhere else the 16th of January. I have a feeling this won't rake in much at the box-office, sadly."
