not final yet. Match Point, Walk The Line, and Syriana might make it on. Also, top 5 (6) might switch around.
1. Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge Of The Sith
2. Batman Begins
3. Serenity
4. Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire
5. The 40 Year Old Virgin
6. Munich
7. Sin City
8. King Kong
9. Constantine
10. Wedding Crashers
good year for blockbusters
for the BP noms
1. Munich
2. Good Night, and Good Luck
3. Brokeback Mountain
4. Capote
5. Crash
not the greatest year for BP contenders. Capote and Crash were very mediocre.
