The Departed |
|
The early favorite, but that's not always a good thing. |

Flags of Our Fathers |
|
Needs to make a box office splash to be taken seriously. |

Little Miss Sunshine |
|
This year's indie sensation, it has little chance at the big prize, but a great chance for the nomination. |

The Illusionist |
|
Could be an alternative word of mouth threat. |

The Queen |
|
A critical darling that could find a lot of support from the Brit members of the Academy. |

World Trade Center |
|
Notable almost totally for its subject matter - this is probably not the 9/11 film to get major recognition. |

United 93 |
|
Neither is this one - it's too unconventional a movie. |

|
If the awards were given out in April, this might have won. |

An Incovenient Truth |
|
This year's hot doc - which gets it a few votes by default. |

Marie Antoinette |
|
A tremendously polarizing film. It will need a Moulin Rouge-esque campaign to get back in it. |
