Reitman managed two picture/director nods back-to-back?
Juno was in 2007 and Up In The Air was in 2009. Is that considered as back to back?

\”Hilary Swank and Amy Adams both confessed in an awards season roundtable that they loved the script and the part won by Banks, and wish they’d ended up doing it.\”

That\’s not true, Adams turned it down, it was Swank that really wanted the part

@Jacob S: TKS is not a costume drama; a period drama yes but the costumes were muted and drab (but effective for the film).

Saving the ones that have already been released, how many of these (besides #s 1,3,4,9,16, and 17) do you guys think will make it to wide release before the New Year?

Sigh. Midnight in Paris is guaranteed, and I will keep repeating it until you see for yourselves come Oscar time.

Never mind. My mistake. I guess Oldman is part of the cast. And that makes me want to see the film even more now.

I think you mean John Hurt, not Gary Oldman, in your Wettest Country paragraph.

\”However, recent years have suggested that costume dramas aren’t the awards bait they were in the 1980s and 1990s—“Shakespeare in Love” was the last film in the genre to win Best Picture.\”

Except for, uh, The King\’s Speech.
