This year's oscar season will be one to watch as the two top reviewed films of the year (WALL-e and The Dark Knight) both hope to compete for Best Picture this February.
For years adaptations of comic books and animated pictures have long been ignored by the Best Picture, but this year is looking to change that with a relatively weak field in Slumdog Millionaire, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Reader, Frost/Nixon and so on.
