    Up in the Air I think had the best festival, though Whip It also went from an afterthought to being well liked, so that's something as well, plus Get Low and such...

    Yes, I would definitely add Get Low to that list. I also think everyone involved with Precious benefited. It's a strong contender for not only Sidibe, but also for Picture, Director, Supp. Actress, and Adapted Screenplay. But this list does a solid job.

    Indeed, I feel like I'm mildly skeptical about Precious to a degree, but I realize that I'm in the minority on that one, but yes, overall, it's not a bad list

    Glad to here about Clive - the picture sounds like it has potential to be great or the potential to be cheese - if it's great that is wonderful!!!
