Look for SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE to be the favorite at Oscar-time.
I’d love to hear their explanation of putting In Bruges in the “Musical or Comedy” category.
IN BRUGES is a pretty dark comedy. And it’s on DVD already.
This was the best list of winner I’ve seen. Hope the Oscars take note.
I’ve seen all the movies except for THE WRESTLER which opens here next week.
