We now turn the page to next year's Oscars...

...so be prepared for this week to focus a bunch on the next potential crop of nominees, as we have Clayton's first set of predictions, the entire staff's first chart predictions, and our annual year in advance article, plus a podcast dedicated to what films to watch out for throughout the year. It's going to be a busy week, so stay tuned.
-Feel free to discuss what might be nominated next year!

  4. Way too early to tell, but some I am looking forward to: Blue Valentine, Inception, Toy Story 3, True Grit, The Way Back, The Fighter, The Rum Diary, London Boulevard, Eat Pray Love.

    Will also be interesting to see if any early releases (Shutter Island, Alice in Wonderland) come into play later in the year.
