A glance at the current release schedule reveals a relative dearth of Oscar bait at this point to my eyes.

I see True Grit, Untitled James L. Brooks Movie, Secretariat, The Social Network

Do Oscar-bait movies usually get locked in this early? -- nm - Roger More Mar 8, 09:50 2
- Usually at this point you can look at the October-December releases and find several Oscar-bait movies. - The Exploding Dano Mar 8, 09:56 1
  - I was thinking there isn't a real need to lock down the opening weekend, like there is for $200 million tentpoles. -- nm - Roger More Mar 8, 09:58

- Oscars are just way more valuable to smaller movies. The Hurt Locker will see a real DVD bump, Avatar would not have made a penny more. -- nm - The Exploding Dano Mar 8, 09:50
- I guess Crash was the last. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 8, 09:50 8

    - Unusual for an Oscar-bait movie to be released in May -- nm - Roger More Mar 8, 09:53 5
      - yeah, I was thinking it was when I first answered, until I remembere correctly. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 8, 09:56

        I'd say it was Million Dollar Baby. -- nm - Inigo Mar 8, 09:56
        
        Million Dollar Baby, in 2004? -- nm - Roger More Mar 8, 09:55 1
        
        Chicago, and A Beautiful Mind too -- nm - Roger More Mar 8, 09:56
    - yeah, maybe not. And it wasn't a late-year release. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 8, 09:53
