He looks at the best Actor race, and throws in a few bits of info in other areas that I haven't heard before.

Also of note is the following paragraph:
"One holiday picture opening BEFORE Christmas (on November 4th) is the wonderful ensemble dramedy The Family Stone with fine performances by Sarah Jessica Parker, Luke Wilson, Craig T. Nelson and the luminous, as usual , Diane Keaton. Sideways producer Michael London didn’t expect to have another major contender so soon as his Family Stone started as a small indie, but the cast got progressively more impressive and Fox then bumped it up to bigger status. Now the Little Christmas Pic That Could is getting the full awards push from the studio."

I continue to contend that we need to keep an eye on FAMILY STONE. Walk The Line will undoubtedly be Fox's biggest push this year, but FS could still make waves.
