 Re: Well...the 2009 Contenders Discussion Thread My top 10 from the above poll choices:
Amelia
Bright Star
Broken Embraces
An Education
The Hurt Locker
Invictus
Nine
Precious
A Serious Man
Up
Though I'm pretty sure there are at least 2 or 3 major contenders that have yet to show themselves.

As in hasn't shown footage, or hasn't found distribution yet? Any of those, or it just hasn't piqued any Oscar watchers' interest yet. Slumdog didn't have a distributor until the end of very end of August, and Juno hadn't been mentioned as a contender until right before Toronto, IIRC.

Re: Well...the 2009 Contenders Discussion Thread Is The Last Station still coming out this year? I had Giamatti and Plummer on my Oscar ballot for supporting actor but took them off to add Christoph Waltz.

The IMAX 3D presentation, Some people say that on IMAX 3D it was in some places blurry and not crisp. Some say that it may be due to the fact that some imax theatres don't have digital projection. Is it true? I hope when I go watch it in december on imax 3d it will be the best experience.

Re: Well...the 2009 Contenders Discussion Thread Mike wrote: I seriously believe WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE should be on the poll. agreed. Inglourious Basterds as well. its RT is high enough, box office strong enough, plot subject Oscar-y enough.. presuming at least a few of the current contenders turn out to be disappointments, it should manage to get in. In a couple of months, I presume I'll be able to say the same thing about Wild Things. _________________ Retroviral VideosA film-based project created for the purpose of helping raise awareness about HIV/AIDS, specifically in South Africa.

An Education
The Hurt Locker
Invictus
The Lovely Bones
Nine
Precious
The Road
A Serious Man
Up
Just outside: Amelia, Inglourious Basterds, Where the Wild Things Are, Tree of Life, Broken Embraces
this 10 nominee thing makes it really hard to pin this category down so early.

UP I now have INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS replacing STAR TREK. BASTERDS is just too big to ignore and everyone seems to love it.
