I think most of us would place the Jack Nicholson BATMAN in our top 3. I have yet to meet the person who doesn't, but I suppose it can happen on these boards. There are so many different personality types around here.

What would be hilarious would be if that Michael Jackson movie ends up taking it. 
I'm quite pleased that Nine is at least considered a possibility. That film is horribly underrated, imo.
The Quentin Tarantino film insulted my brain. I used to like his work. Not so much now. What a bloody waste of resources.
Here's a couple articles on how the Best Picture race is shaping up:

A posthumous nomination? That never happens in the business. Naaah.
Why oh why is Michael Jackson suddenly everyone's hero? He used to be the biggest joke of the bloody planet, and just because he died, everyone thinks he was the greatest artist on Earth. That's annoying.
I never liked his music, never got the hype, and sure as hell don't get it now. So what if he died, happens to the best of us.
My condolences to his family- that is if they aren't too busy making money with his death.

Exactly! Everyone (well, most people) thought that, including myself. Whether you like his music or not, that's a matter of taste. It's just so irritating that he became this immaculate idol just because he died.

He isn't my hero, and I can count on one hand the number of his songs I even remotely like. I just find the idea that the movie they made to cash in on his death winning Best Picture to be humorous because I could actually see it happening.
Maybe Best Documentary Film (it has gotten pretty good reviews), but incredibly unlikely for Best Picture. I don't think any documentary has been nominated for Best Picture.
Oh. I hadn't thought about it that way. In that case, you are right. It would be truly humorous.

So did "The Dark Knight."
I think it's widely assumed that both "The Dark Knight" and "Wall-E" would've made the category if there were 10 spots.

And "Slumdog Millionaire" probably still would have taken it.
Probably.
Not apropos; my point concerned a nomination.
