  The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
  Frost/Nixon
  Milk
  Revolutionary Road
  Slumdog Millionaire

  I just don’t see the Academy nominating something as mainstream and action-oriented as The Dark Knight. We’ll see.

  Might as well give Slumdog all the slots, as nothing else is gonna win. ;)

  “Yo! ain’t seen it but what about Che?”

  Braveheart, when you do see it, you’ll understand why I say: NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS.

  Interesting film. Superb performance from Del Toro. But it’s so far outside the Academy’s comfort zone, it’s hard to express.

  I’m hoping that The Dark Knight is not included. Not a great film…sorry all you lovers…the ending stunk, and it was practically insufferable when Ledger was not on screen

  I am hoping that TDK is out, and The Wrestler is in. If not The Wrestler, then The Reader.

  You have every right to your wrong opinion. ;)

  My opinion doesn’t matter so I may as well go a little crazy:

  Slumdog Millionaire
  The Dark Knight
  Frost/Nixon
  Australia
  The Wrestler

  “Gran Torino” instead of “Frost/Nixon”, as the film that gets more passionate following, while “Frost” has more appreciation for the acting ensemble.

  The other four seem pretty solid.

  Possibly, “Happy Go Lucky” instead of “Slumdog” if “Slumdog”is seen as too violent.

  And if “Dark Knight” doesn’t get in, it’s substitute could be anything: “In Bruges”, “The Changeling”, “Iron Man”etc.

  Just thought I should throw this in..my professor is also a member of the Academy Awards (as a producer)

  His five in order:

  1. Slumdog Millionaire (beautiful film)
  2. Milk (a nice little movie)
  3. The Wrestler (art)
  4. Frost/Nixon (exceeded very little expectation going in)
  5. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (“reluctantly”)

  Why would your professor even have Button on his list if he’s “reluctant” about it? Surely he can come up with five films he’s genuinely enthusiastic about. Is he afraid that would be throwing a vote away?
