Previous Chart
It’s called The Way Back and it should be a lot higher.
Really? Hereafter is that high? Even with, y’know, the reviews?
Also called “How Do You Know” (not “Everything You’ve Got”) which you have correct on the Actor/Actress charts.
Come’on….The Way Home(?) lower than The Tempest? Really?
Why is THE WAY BACK so low….seriously half the films above it are complete messes
HOWL…..a masterpiece!
your forgetting some of the formula from last year, I would really take hereafter off the list, just because its clint eastwood does not mean it has a bp spot secured. And then for the final spot I would say the town (made money, fun), Winter’s Bone ( the serious indie contender), Made in Dagenham, and Blue V (If both actors get the nominations I would say it has to get nominated), are the final contenders for the last spot.
The Ghost Writer is a better movie than almost everything on the next likely list, and some of the likely list.
Inception and Toy Story 3 are sure things. Fighter is not. It will play well with audiences and get nods for Bale and Leo, but it’s nowhere near a sure thing.
Um, The Tempest was hands-down the worst film I have seen this year, I am shocked to even see it listed. We’re talking any other film out there should be placed before The Tempest, not an exaggeration.
