The book is closed on the 2008 awards season, and the stars and directors and producers can spend the summer in sweats before they have to start walking the red carpets and donning the formal wear again. And while we can look forward to a spring and summer full of big action movies that no one will bother showering with awards, there's already a full slate of contenders waiting to be considered for the 2009 Academy Awards.
Yes, yes, I know, you're totally sick of prestige films. But it's fun to take a look at what's coming, and try to guess which movies we'll be most excited about when fall rolls around. Below is a list of the prime contenders of the year, in order of release date, with my best guess at how well they might do at the Oscars. I've tried to limit the list to movies that might become big Oscar players, not the Iron Mans and Hellboy 2s of the Oscars that make their way into the technical categories. And yes, this does mean I don't think Watchmen will get past The Dark Knight's curse and get nominated for Best Picture.
And as for the "excite-o-meter," here it refers to how excited the Academy will probably get about, not how excited we are. I could really care less about a Nelson Mandela biopic, but you know that's the kind of thing the Academy loves.
