The 2005 Preview
 

 While of course not all of these will be BP contenders, they are the releases that are most likely to end up on critic and audience top tens at the end of the year. Bold are my guesses for the films which will get the most attention.

  * = likely critical darling     + = likely audience favorite    > = likely animated nominee

  Note that release dates are subject to change, and more films may be added as they are announced.
