Food For Thought

Where the heck are all the Oscar movies? Usually I have already begun handicapping the Oscar race by this point. The problem being there are no real Oscar movies to handicap. Making the waters even murkier, there really are not a lot of big time academy heavy hitters waiting in the wings. This could get interesting if some very good movies do not surface soon. In the interest of trying for some sort of prediction it appears at this moment that United 93 is the only real Oscar caliber film to come out this year, so by default I guess it is the early favorite.
