    AUSTRALIA
    THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON
    REVOLUTIONARY ROAD

    Wall-e has a lot of support, but what are Wall-E´s oscar chances?Just don't seem to sync up with Academy tastes...
    I also can´t believe all the Changeling bad reviews! May be it´s not brilliant as cannes say, but it´s not a bad movie!
    TCCOBB is the one to beat.

    I know I only put 10 for Adapted, but I don't think any of the others deserve a spot.

  10. Why is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull listed under adapted?

    In any case, The Dark Knight probably will and should win. Bottom line. :)

    My favorite in the original screenplay race is Burn After Reading and my favorite in the original screenplay is Revolutionary Road.
