Post Moneyball


This looks like a frontrunner to me

Big players - Sorkin on a roll, Bennett Miller, Pitt, Hoffman, and watch out for Hill doing drama if you've seen Cyrus.

More than that this gives me the same vibe the Social Network did where you can just see the execution in directing and acting that screams Oscar

This is my pick for Best Picture

Bold, but I do disagree on a few points.

A similar vibe to The Social Network isn't exactly a boon, in my opinion. Remember The King's Speech? :P A lot of the Oscars voters can't key into the whole unsentimental, loquacious Sorkin approach. This would have a better chance of winning Best Picture if the trailer evoked The National.

Judging by its reception and likely good b/o performance it will be now.

I'm thinking:

Best Picture
Best Actor
Best Adapted Screenplay
