All but "Inception" are kind of Oscar bait, and most of them don't look like box office powerhouses.

Kramer, and that was a long time ago. (Or maybe I'm just dating myself? I've already forgotten what film won BP last month.)<br /><br />On the other hand, the contrast between Cameron's "Hedwig" and RH could be just the sort of thing that makes AMPAS takes notice (a la "I didn't know he could do that sort of thing, too!") AMPAS likes talent+versatility, to a degree. (It's worked for the Coen Bros. I'm guessing that if Quentin Tarention had followed up Pulp Fiction with something completely different, a straight drama perhaps, rather than sticking to his "style", he might have gotten an Oscar already.)<br /><br />I'd forgotten that Kidman is a producer on that film.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049113750769117163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-73576817747164603142010-04-12T03:15:45.648-04:002010-04-12T03:15:45.648-04:00I love to watch movies which are very popular movi...I love to watch movies which are very <a href="http://www.moviewatchlist.com/most-popular-movies" rel="nofollow">popular movies</a> like:<br /><br /> Avatar <br /> The Twilight Saga: New Moon <br /> The Proposal <br /><br />I love these movies ...annabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15850581571520353825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-89965870473590394672010-04-11T22:48:20.229-04:002010-04-11T22:48:20.229-04:00Here's mine:

Well, he has never been nominated for an Oscar for an actor in a leading role. The role is so quirky, it just may work. Remember when Jimmy Stewart thought he had a 6 foot invisible rabbit as his best friend in Harvey ? Oscar nomination. If Mel pulls the role off ( and he's a natural at doing comedy ) he has a good shot.<br />Jim Sturgess is just waiting to break into the next level and he is the lead in The Way Back. Could this be his shot ?<br />Franco as Aron Ralston, being trapped on the mountain all that time pinned against a boulder, will be like Cast Away on a mountain. No dialogue for nearly an hour, so he'll be asked to emote without words.<br />All I know this looks like a way better year than last !catchaflick215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-46815383519189222402010-04-10T23:58:10.963-04:002010-04-10T23:58:10.963-04:00Count me as one who also doesn't see Toy Story...Count me as one who also doesn't see Toy Story 3 getting a Picture nomination.

Their unarguably most Oscar-successful movie was "No Country" which was an adaptation of McCarthy's novel. From what I've heard about True Grit it's more of a re-adaptation of the novel than a remake of the movie, which puts it in a similar camp as "No Country."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-6377680745389532582010-04-10T23:39:34.088-04:002010-04-10T23:39:34.088-04:00Those are all good possibilites.

Usually one art house type film comes out of nowhere that is a limited release that hardly anyone sees and I think that could be Bela Tarr's The Turin Horse. Supposedly his last film. Micmacs has recieved good word of mouth. It has a noname UK cast, but some people really love it. True Grit has a good chance, just because all who are involved. Get Low may squeeze into the 10 nominations.<br />I like your director list as well. I'm really feeling that The Way Back is going to be well recieved by people that see it. It's a very interesting true story. Peter Weir is a heck of a solid director and is popular within the Academy as well. Something also has me feeling Betty Anne Waters. Tony Goldwyn could be a name you see. That is a remarkable story no matter how you feel about Hilary Swank.
