2008 Academy Awards

I agree, but only because of a dead actor.

IMO, he would have gotten a nomination if he was a live. Being dead makes the win an absolute lock (and he 100% deserves it).

Overall, I suspect that TDK, Slumdog Millionaire, Revolutionary Road, Milk, and maybe the Wrestler will get a nomination for best picture...

I meant the obvious contenders of course. This year I don't think I'll have the time to see to many, so I probably won't appreciate the choices. But we'll see.

Same here, probably. 😉

I'll definitely go see Benjamin Button though, I have high hopes for that one.

At first I really had no interest in that film, but now that I've seen the recent trailers, it looks really damn good. Kinda has that Forest Gump appeal in a sort of way.

Funny you should say that; Eric Roth (Forest Gump's screenwriter) also wrote the screenplay for Benjamin Button.
