My 10 as of June 21st

Up
Agora
Creation
Sherlock Holmes
Avatar
The Tempest
500 Days of Summer
Los Abrazos Rotos
Insert Toronto/Venice monster here
Nine

Just ftr Creation is a Charles Darwin biopic with Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly. Also tackles the religion vs science debate. I'm putting it in over Amelia and The Last Station though I'm sure one of the 3 will make it

Agora is a historical drama set in Egypt in 391 AD starring Rachel Weisz, that has slavary, Christianity, and romance in it. It's probably at the least a Best Actress + Tech film that hangs around the race, but I'll throw it in with the 10 noms

I think it's amazing that Up has a vote from every single member who has voted.

Shows how much the 10 nom switcheroo affects Pixar. I wonder if it'll now become the 9 BP nominations + Pixar.

Bright Star has leapt into 10th place in terms of votes (9/18)

Judging by this trailer and the "year of the woman" angle, I think the film and Campion will both be nominated.

Shutter Island does not look like an Oscar contender.

It looks like "The Beach: Twilight Edition"

Then you're going to be playing musical chairs. Bright Star looks less Atonement, more Becoming Jane.

It's the Year of the Woman, its virtually written in stone. Multiple women will be nominated for BD, and their films for BP.

When you have multiple women directors with very strong films in contention, that's the narrative that forms. In inevitable, its unmistakable, it is Sam, what it is.

I heard somewhere that only three women have ever been nominated for Best Director... ever. Can anyone confirm?

Anyways, I would say that nothing is inevitable with Aug-Dec still in the cards. But we don't need to go down that path again.

Campion, Coppola, and the other half of LMS' team. Off the top of my head.

Little Miss Sunshine didn't get a Best Director nomination. It was Lina Wertmüller for 1976's Seven Beauties.
