I am having a huge whinge now. I was foolishly dismissing this film, and doing so for a very long time. Now I am caving in and thinking it could be a good contender. This now means I am going to have to update all the categories in my predictions.
Whinge whinge whinge.
The trailer not only makes this look rather entertaining, but also a SCATHING critique. Something Hollywood would eat up in this political climate.
Tom Hanks actually looks like a lot of fun, as does Phillip Seymour Hoffman and they could easily be upsets in this very crowded race.
Looking like a cross between Lady Penelope (pictured) and a drag queen, Julia on the other hand does seem to stick out a little like a sore thumb.
Recycling her "Steel Magnolias" accent with turdo blonde hair piled up on her head, she does look a little...shall we say...strange.
My actual first impression was that she looked a little uncomfortable in front of the camera....but then again I am judging a movie by it's trailer......something I made a huge mistake with before.
This could all just be because it has been so long since we have seen her on screen, but I am not convinced, although early word says she is terrific.
I never really trust early word...I need to see the proof damn it!
Any ways....here is the trailer for you all to judge!

I'm not sure what to think about this one, for starters Tom Hanks has become as annoying to me as the other superstar Tom.
And while I LOVE Nichols, Roberts, Adams and kinda like Hoffman, the film says more "Catch Me If You Can" than Oscar to me.
That Thunderbirds comment was dead on lol.
I still think this looks rather obnoxious....VERY Aaron Sorkin. I mean, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip Aaron Sorkin.
