Seems like the teaser footage discards overt sentimentalism in favor of resilience, and hopeful ambiance. There's not alot of Narrative cohesiveness, although the subsequent trailer will reveal a significant portion, albeit your not already familiarized with Lincoln's legacy (Sad). Daniel Day Lewis is/has been locked an Academy nomination for his portrayal since it's initial announcement. Although; I really don't differ from that speculation. Those Medium and Tracking shots featuring Lewis in a contemplative, passive and ruminative disposition, evoke that distinct solemnity that surrounded Lincoln's life. Cant wait to see how his performance stands against this year's current roster.

well. the sappy overly-sentimental music in this spot is already a good indication of how annoying this movie is going to be.

Production values will no doubt be superb, but in terms of writing it will be hard to top the kind of blunt honesty and political wit of "Gore Vidal's Lincoln," although Daniel Day will no doubt surpass Sam Waterston.

The commentary in this article and the reply section for this has been most entertaining.

I don't know, I don't think this will be the academy award winner everyone thinks it's going to be. Then again if the Academy can even nominate a piece of crap movie like War Horse- which probably only got nominated because it was by Steven Spielberg ( I can't think of any other reasons the Academy would nominate such a cliche predictable film) which is baffiling that the Academy would even put that shit in the same ranks as Network, Taxi Driver, The Maltese Falcon, The Godfather, Ben Hur etc etc- if they keep like they've been, then maybe this WILL win BP, regardless of how good it is. I can't help but think "The Master" will be the Picture that actually deserves it. "Lincoln" will be the picture everyone thinks will win it. And that "Argo" will be the picture that actually DOES win it. In a classic Oscar fashion of "wtf!? where the fuck!?"
