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 that
will get the most attention.
Strike indicates a movie out of
major contention due to low critical acclaim or other eliminating factors. These
titles will not be included on the Tracker page, but they may be in
contention for smaller awards, so they are included here. (Note that documentary
and most foreign titles are not included.)
ALL CAPS = Contender for an individual nomination
* = likely critical darling
+ = likely audience favorite > = likely animated
nominee
Release dates are per
multiple sources (MSN Movies, IMDB, BOM, studio sites) and are subject to
change. More links will be added to these entries as they
become available. Please contact if there's a film that doesn't appear here that
you think ought to.
