Insufferable S.O.B.
Prolly the movie that people watched the least.
With all the hype around Slumdog Millionaire, I see it winning. It probably isn't the best movie, but hype matters more than anything else with the Oscars.
I think it will be Frost/Nixon or Milk. But I would like it to be CCoBB.
With the crusty coots at the academy Milk has no shot. Slumdog will win.
Slumdog or Frost/Nixon.

No if that was the case The Shawshank Redemption would have won back in 94/95.

I was THIS close to editing the poll to add an option for The Dark Knight, just for fun.

Actually I think Slumdog will win and of those 5 is probably the best film.
The Reader? I knew Harvey Weinstein was powerful - but that's just ridiculous.

Wow. I am surprised to hear people bashing The Reader. Other than Benjamin Button, it's the only other one on the list I want to see.

Go on you know you want to
Hasn't Frost/Nixon had a lot of complaints for being wildly innacurate in it's depiction of the events ?

Having seen them, IMO The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is the film that does not belong (by far). Good movie with great effects, but just not in the same league as the others. Slumdog is the best film out of those 5, but to rank them I would go:
1. Slumdog Millionaire
2. Frost/Nixon
3. Milk
4. The Reader
5. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The Wrestler not being on there is a travesty.
That's what I've been saying all day.
It's average at best. In no way shape or form is it top 5 material, especially in the directors category. Hell the critics don't even really like it. It's sitting at 60% at rottentomatoes and that's about how I'd score it as well.

it's Slumdog, and yea a lot of these films have an indy kind of feel and the previews don't do them justice. Slumdog is a great film though, albeit not for everyone.

I have yet to see any of them, but Case of Benjamin seems interesting but can't say who will win, but by looks of things and reading in the news, it might be Slumdog. In any case, I'm surprised Dark Knight is not in there when it was easily the best movie of the year. The Benjamin Case gets nominated even though its sci-fi, but Batman doesn't!? What kind of a logic is that?
