This is quite a weird lineup of contenders in this category. Moderately-received musical Mamma Mia should get in, as well as well-received comedies from critically-acclaimed directors the Coen brothers and Woody Allen, Burn After Reading and Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Wacky fare like Tropic Thunder, High School Musical 3, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and Hamlet 2 may have a decent shot due to the absence of “W” and “Iron Man,” both of which were classified as dramas. The more mature Last Chance Harvey should be recognized for its stars, but not necessarily as a best picture. I’m betting on two highly intelligent and wonderful films for the last two slots: Happy-Go-Lucky and In Bruges. I just hope I’m right.
Predicted five:
BURN AFTER READING
HAPPY-GO-LUCKY
IN BRUGES
MAMMA MIA
VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA
