Their call: Babel, Dreamgirls, The Departed, Little Miss Sunshine, and The QueenMovies with better reviews than Dreamgirls which will be left in the cold: Children of Men, Borat, United 93
IMDb top 250, not nominated: The Prestige
The remaining films with superior reviews will either be nominated for Best Foreign-Language Film (Pan's Labyrinth, Letters from Iwo Jima, Volver) or Best Documentary (Wordplay, An Inconvenient Truth)
Peter O'Toole is expected to receive his eighth nomination for Venus, but is expected to be an also-ran yet again behind Forest Whitaker.
Helen Mirren seems virtually a shoo-in for Best Actress, since the field comes from obscure films. Very few of the top films have a major role for a woman. (Dreamgirls and the Spanish-language films, Volver and Pan's Labyrinth, are the only exceptions.)
