Post Will The Town be nominated for Best Picture?

Ben Affleck's traditional, well-reviewed crime drama was a box office hit in the fall, almost grossing $100 million. It's also shown up several times during the awards season (Jeremy Renner was just nominated for a Globe and a SAG award for his supporting performance). It's easy to see The Town is driven by populist passion and could sneak into the Best Picture ten. The DVD/Blu-ray release on Friday can't hurt awareness.

I say yes. The fact WB is running an aggressive "FYC" ad campaign only increases my confidence in this film's Oscar viability.

Yes. They've pushed the hell out of it. It can't miss at this point.
