Early Best Picture Oscar odds!
The nominations won't be announced until January 22nd, but already with the Golden Globe nominations already being out, there's already some speculation on who may get nominated for an Oscar next month.
betUS has put together a list of movies most likely to get nominated, and we've rounded up the top contenders:
Atonement (+300): Both Keira Knightley and James McAvoy are nominated for Golden Globes, as well as the film for Best Picture - Drama. It's been getting tons of buzz here in the States.
No Country For Old Men (+300): The Coen brothers came back in a big way this year with this film based on the Cormac McCarthy novel. Javier Bardem received a Best Supporting Actor nod, which helps their chances.
Charlie Wilson's War (+500): It's almost a perfect formula for Oscar gold: Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks, director Mike Nichols, and screenwriter (and West Wing creator) Aaron Sorkin. Throw an Oscar at this flick and someone's bound to catch one.
American Gangster (+500): All the critics were basically in agreement about this movie: it wasn't great, but Denzel Washington is fantastic. Denzel could be reading a box of Rice-A-Roni and get nominated.
There Will Be Blood (+500): This is the latest film from Paul Thomas Anderson, who also directed Boogie Nights and Magnolia, both movies garnering him a lot of attention, but there's a chance the film may get buried because of so many other nominated movies.
Sweeney Todd (+750 ): There's probably a pretty good shot for the latest Johnny Depp/Tim Burton collaboration to get nominated, but it's harder for musicals when it comes to the Oscar nods. posted by Kari at 11:26 AM
