This most exciting this is the appearance of 'genre' films this year. 'The Dark Knight' and 'Let The Right One In' are making all sorts of appearances which is a great thing to see. Perhaps this means people are slowly looking past genre and looking at actual quality.

Am I the only one thinking that Dev Patel is going to make the final 5? (makes him sound like a Cylon)
