In Brief

No real standouts yet, just the usual suspects.  The Originals seem to be the stronger of categories this year.  Right now Synecdoche, New York is silent on buzz.  WALL-E can go the distance if buzz rides on until December but I doubt it.  Any of the Top 15 can take it at this point.

In Brief

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button still seems like a winner with Revolutionary Road not far behind.  The buzz is building on Defiance and The Road, and oh.....The Dark Knight, I'm probably going to regret putting it up in major categories but it is really superb and fit to break the mold.
