 Atonement for Best Picture Club I wanted to make this immediately after seeing it but I let it sit for a few days and the feeling is still the same. I doubt I shall see a better film this year. Its superbly crafted in every area and despite anybody labelling it "not important" I do think the oscar voters will plump for this as the best come next year. As for Knightley/McAvoy/Ronan I can't say, they are all superb but best performer is still a vague area. But as for the film I'll stick my neck out. So who is with me?

Re: Atonement for Best Picture Club What the heck, I'm in. It does have alot of obstacles and being non-American, British will probably hurt it most when going for the win if it's strong enough, but I have been forever under this films' spell since I saw that amazing 2 minute trailer so I will join. Plus, I never join these things.

Re: Atonement for Best Picture Club Do you mean the win?
If so, definitely NOT in.

Re: Atonement for Best Picture Club Hell yes i'm in.
Best film of the year by far and i doubt it will be surpassed. So many potential nominations, i just want to see it again right now.

Re: Atonement for Best Picture Club Although the themes it explores aren't quite the same (I think..I haven't seen the film) I got a "The English Patient" vibe from it since the first time I saw the trailer.
And although there are many other contenders I can't see any of them actually WINNING.
So I'm in.

Re: Atonement for Best Picture Club I think it's about the right time for a hardcore British production/period piece to win Best Picture, after many years of "United States contemporary/topical dramas," right?

Re: Atonement for Best Picture Club So in. It reminds me of The English Patient 10 years ago somehow too, Rod. I mentioned it before.  _________________

Re: Atonement for Best Picture Club I'm in. I love the trailer, and my gut just tells me this will be the one to stay afloat until the end and take home the Oscar for Best Picture. And I don't know what happened, but recently I've been in love with Kiera Knightley. I never found her that appealing before, but suddenly she became a serious actress, and I'm loving her.
Peace,
Mike

Re: Atonement for Best Picture Club It it's Best Picture winner, then NOT IN! Sorry, Gulli, but somehow I think THERE WILL BE BLOOD or even AMERICAN GANGSTER have more chances of winning right now.
However, I think it will get nominated for Best Picture.
A of 10/22, I think these will be the best picture nominees:
American Gangster
Atonement
No Country For Old Men
There Will Be Blood
????

Re: Atonement for Best Picture Club There Will Be Blood looks way too non-mainstream to win Best Picture. It's no not an Academy movie. I think the enormous praise it is going to get will triumph in a nomination but not a win. And I'm not going to talk about American Gangster till it comes out. I have strong gut feelings on it but they seem to be in the minority so I'll keep my mouth shut till they are either confirmed or dead wrong.

Re: Atonement for Best Picture Club I really wish they would move the US release date to earlier in December, thats the only issue I have with the rollout strategy at the moment.

They would never do that with Charlie Wilson and Sweeney Todd opening on Christmas... and There Will Be Blood I think too. The official site says December 7th and I think it's gonna be wide which is a mistake but oh well.
