Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. It's wide open this year and Oscar voters will feel the need to "right" last year's.

King's Speech didn't even make summer before it became hokey. Fincher earns the mulligan.

To be honest, I think it'll miss being nominated for Picture. -- nm - MDH Oct 25, 13:22 22
- Assuming it's good, it's seems a lock for a nom in an (up to) 10-pic race. - ty97 Oct 25, 13:24 10
  - There's a lot of competition this year -- nm - MDH Oct 25, 13:28 4

      - *Looks below at my list of potential nominees* -- nm - MDH Oct 25, 13:31
    - It's going to depend on how well the film is received critically. If the critics like it (TBD) and it's a box office smash (likely) - ty97 Oct 25, 13:29 1
      - as a nominee, that is -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 13:29

    - Last I read, there could be up to 10, as long as they got at least 5% of the vote. - ty97 Oct 25, 13:27 3

        So,as I said "up to 10" -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 13:28 1

- If not for expanded, I would agree. -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 13:23 10
  - Here's my (way in advance) list of nominees - MDH Oct 25, 13:28 8

      - I think they are locks regardless, Oscar can be predictable with bait. And hat's why they are maybes! :-) - MDH Oct 25, 13:36 5
        
        There's almost always something that considered a lock in October that's gone from the list by December - ty97 Oct 25, 13:37 4

        Based on subject matter alone, I'd consider J Edgar the strongest of those three. - ty97 Oct 25, 13:42 1

        I hope its the horse. Speilberg needs to get back his old self not this Horse/TinTin crap. -- nm - MDH Oct 25, 13:40
    - Moneyball is a couple groups too high. It gets that spot. -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 13:33
  - I think that'd be the type of movie where if it's great, it wins, if it's not great it doesn't get nominated. - Will Hunting Oct 25, 13:26
