I recently posted the ad that had been taken out to promote The Dark Knight for Best Picture at next years Oscars.That got me thinking about what could possibly win The Best Picture. On my wanders around the World Wide Web there are a few films that seem to be in the running for Best Picture. They are as follows:
Australia - Nicole and Hugh get it on in the outback.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Brad Pitt ages backwards.
The Dark Knight - Bale growls as The Batman, Ledger does a magic trick and there are two Aaron Eckharts but I didn't see any jousting.
Doubt - Meryl Streep and Amy Adams are nuns. Is it a porno? Philip Seymore Hoffman wishes.
Frost/Nixon - The head Lycan dude fron Underworld interviews Dracula.
Gran Torino - Clint Eastwood plays a rascist and has a nice car.
Milk - Sean Penn play a big gay bottle of semi-skimmed or a politician or something.
Nothing But the Truth - Kate Beckinsale outs a CIA agent with hilarious consequences.
Rachel Getting Married - Rachel is getting married and her sister does drugs
The Reader - Kate Winslet is a Nazi who likes to have bedtime stories read to her. Ahh isn't that sweet!
Revolutionary Road - Kate Winslett and Leonardo DiCaprio set sail on the Titanic while living in 1950's Connecticut and argue a lot or something. I could be wrong. Not sure how Kate got the part in the film directed by her husband? Is Billy Zane in it?
Slumdog Millionaire - Indian kid wins Who Wants to be A Millionaire. Danny Boyle still goes on about 28 Days Later wasn't a zombie film.
The Wrestler - Mickey Rourke is a washed up has-been. In this film he plays a wrestler.
WALL-E - CGI Pixar fest with a cute little robot.
Sadly I've only seen a couple of them (Dark Knight, WALL-E) although a fair few of them have yet to be released so it's not that bad a thing. I do want to see Benjamin Button, Frost/Nixon, Gran Torino, Milk and The Wrestler and the others I'm all a bit meh about. I personally think Benjamin Button will win the best picture Oscar purely from all the buzz and reviews I've been reading about it.
Which film do you see winning Best Picture? How many of the above list have you seen and what are you looking forward to seeing? Which ones will you avoid? What films should be on the list? Will Billy Zane win best actor?

If Sean "you dont realise the pain of an actor" Penn gets it ill eat a turd! or even worse a Big Mac ... I do not like that man! He thinks acting is something more than "lying well". BASTARD!
LOL! I didn't realise you felt that strongly about him. To be honest I don't have a problem with him on screen or directing (Into the Wild) was brilliant, but he, like many actors love to say how hard their life is playing pretend all day, being taught new skills, going all over the World, being paid millions, and given everything for free.
