The Great De-BAIT-ers

Starting..soon, I guess I'm going to talk about a certain 2008 release that is 'baity', or for those non-Oscar-obsessed, a film that looks like it could make an impact at the Oscars. I'll talk about the movie, the director, cast, etc. and then talk about the nominations I think it will garner. The films are...

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Doubt
Defiance
The Soloist
Revolutionary Road
The Road (what's with all the roads..?)
Milk
Changeling
Happy-Go-Lucky
Burn After Reading
The Wackness
Frost/Nixon
Vicky Christina Barcelona
Australia
Wall-E
The Dark Knight
House of Lies
The Reader

And that's about it. If I can think of any more, I'll add them, but that seems like the bulk of films in serious contention. So each day (or so) for about the next 3 weeks, I"ll spotlight each film.
