There are several possible Best Picture-nominees line-up's going around, but their number is fairly limited, so I thought I could start a poll to see what opinion prevails at the moment. In the poll you can see several possible line-up's for Best Picture. Which one do you see happening?

Obviously, there are other possible predictions to be made, but I think the poll encompasses most of the possibilities.

While I'd like to see the Diving Bell in there, I went for number one.
Also, I wouldn't completely rule out Zodiac like you did.

I didn't. Which is why there is Other #3. I just can't make the poll contain 30+ options, hehe.

Heh good thread

I also voted for the top option. I thought for a while Atonement would get snubbed, but it's doing surprisingly well on the critics list and it's hard to take out the Globe nomination leader. As much as the Globes have sucked lately, that's when we knew Babel was getting in last year.

Presently: Atonement, Into the Wild, Michael Clayton, No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood; but that could easily change in the next few weeks.

the one at the top. Michael Clayton or maybe Atonement could be swapped for Sweeney Todd or maybe Into the Wild, but that top one is shaping up pretty nicely at the moment.

1. No Country for Old Men
2. There Will Be Blood
3. Juno
4. Atonement
5. Michael Clayton

6. Sweeney Todd
7. Into the Wild
8. American Gangster

I don't think anything else could get in at this point.

BJs Lineup:

1. Juno
2. There Will be Blood
3. Atonement
4. No Country for Old Men
5. Sweeney Todd

I voted for the NCFOM, Juno, Into the Wild, Atonement and There Will Be Blood line-up.

At the moment:

No Country for Old Men
There Will Be Blood
Michael Clayton
Into the Wild
Juno

Ideally:
No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, Atonement, Juno, Into the Wild

That'd be brilliant.
I can't bring myself to believe/predict an American Gangster/Michael Clayton/Great Debators nomination, and I'm pretty uneasy about Sweeny, so that's probably the best bet for my "predicted" 5, too.

My only hope is that Hairspray gets the nod for a Best Pic nom - - I know the fact that it was actually the best movie of 2007 has nothing to do with this topic - - but still, I can dream...

Atonement
Into the Wild
Juno
Michael Clayton
No Country for Old Men

Although I'm not *that* confident in predicting Into the Wild. I may change to There Will Be Blood in place of that sometime before nominations, depending on how things go.

Right now in terms of nomination likelihood I'm thinking

Tier 1:
No Country for Old Men

Tier 2:
There Will Be Blood
Michael Clayton
Juno

Tier 3
Atonement
Into the Wild

Tier 4
Sweeney Todd
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

Atonement
Into the Wild
Juno
No Country for Old Men
There Will Be Blood

Once again, we see eye to eye. This has been my predicted 5 for almost a week now. For some reason, I have a lot of doubts but I'm sticking to it. It's also definitely my favorite of all the line ups.

I think Into the Wild is the shakiest and Michael Clayton is posing a major threat. I'm really doubting Sweeney being a major player but it would still be 7th on my list.

Cool, my option is up there and someone else voted for it too. I voted:

No Country for Old Men
There Will Be Blood
Atonement
Sweeney Todd
Into the Wild

Peace,
Mike

I believe that at least two nominees for the SAG Ensemble award have to be nominated for the Best Picture Oscar. I see those two being No Country for Old Men and Into the Wild. I've looked at the entire history of the SAG Ensemble award, and a 2/5 match up is the smallest that has occurred.

Peace,
Mike

The first option. There Will Be Blood will win it.

Oooh I like this style

Tier 1
No Country For Old Men

Tier 2
Juno
There Will Blood

Tier 3
Atonement
Michael Clayton

Tier 4
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Into the Wild
Sweeney Todd

A 4/5 including both Hairspray/American Gangster is even more likelier than either a 2/5 or 1/5 match-up, imo. I don't get why people refuse to believe that at least one of Hairspray/American Gangster will get in and put at least one of them as at the very minimum an alternate for #6 or #7.

American Gangster could get in, although unless the DGA insists, you won't find me predicting it.

Hairspray? No.

I'm pretty sure Hairspray has a better chance than American Gangster does.

#1

I really think Atonement, Sweeney Todd, and Into the Wild are in a tight three-way race for that last slot. I think Atonement will get in, but it could go to any of them. The other four seem like very likely bets for a nomination at this point.

Looks like only one person in the poll was right, hehe.
