Our resident Oscar expert already has a few nominees, sight unseen:
All The King's Men -- Sean Penn and Jude Law, in a new adaptation of the Robert Penn Warren classic. (The original won the Oscar in 1949.)

Dreamgirls -- Chicago scribe Bill Condon's screen transfer of the 1981 Michael Bennett musical.

The Good German -- A Stephen Soderbergh/George Clooney prestige noir.

The Good Shepherd (pictured) -- Robert De Niro directs Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie in a history of the CIA.

The Good German Shepherd -- Kidding! Though they can be lovely dogs. Bad hips, though.

Stranger Than Fiction -- A Charlie Kaufman-esque Will Ferrell comedy, helemd by Finding Neverland's Marc Forster.

What, no Garfield 2? I'm outraged, Karger. We shall have stern words in the breakroom.
