It’s coming any minute now, but in the meantime, our pal AJ Schnack over at All These Wonderful Things has taken a stab at films he thinks might make the cut. Food, Inc. is the current frontrunner, according to AJ (then that automatically means Oscar ignores it. Juuuuuust kidding). It is the only film, says AJ, “to have scored nominations in the top category at the Cinema Eye Honors, the Gothams and the IDA Documentary Awards.”
The docs that are our radar so far this year, therefore making them the least likely choices by the Academy, ahem, would include: Anvil! The Story of Anvil, It Might Get Loud, The Cove, We Live in Public, and of course, Capitalism: A Love Story (I dare them to shut that one out). AJ also thinks Tyson, and several other titles that don’t yet have any buzz.

They will shut out “Capitalism” because it’s a lousy movie. It didn’t have to be. Moore had the ability to really make this movie and he flopped BIG TIME!!!
Perhaps unrelated, but has this been mentioned yet?
“The Hollywood Foreign Press Association have announced that they will expand this year’s number of Golden Globe nominations for Best Animated Feature from three to five.”
completely unrelated:
did anyone see the cast of nine on oprah today?
some pretty sweet clips were shown.
they did shut out capitalism: a love story http://www.oscars.org/press/pressreleases/2009/20091118a.html
Thanks Ganonlink! I am glad the Academy included “Every Little Step”, it was a fabulous film, and i know that it did very well on Metacritic garnering several 100% Reviews.
