“Slumdog Millionaire” deserves every plaudit it gets! Must say, Kate Winslet simply cannot be omitted fom any award this year. Outrageous. “Revolutionary Road” is far better than “Benjamin Button”. Ironically, Pitt is better at playing characters, but boring as hell as a leading man.

to sam: the dark knight is a lot better than slumdog millionaire. slumdog was good,dont get me wrong but TDK, MILK, WALLE, Frost/Nixon, and The Wrestler were better. To be honest i thought KUNG FU PANDA were better than Slumdog.

I was so excited to see Changeling on the list. I don’t get the mixed reviews at all, and I hope that hasn’t fueled some of the negativity surrounding it. Audiences rate it really highly, and while I’ve only seen Rachel Getting Married, Australia, and Changeling, it’s my favorite so far (and I liked the other two).

Josh Brolin should not win. Heath Ledger should win and they know it. His performance is much more memorable and it has more depth to it than Brolin’s performance. Heath Ledger was much more in Character than Brolin ever was. But hey it’s just the National Board review not the Oscars.

You people are crazy. Slumdog Millionaire DEFINITELY deserves the Best Picture title…freakin’ TDK diehard fans are starting to get on my f***ing nerves. Stop trying to downplay every other film just to make TDK seem even better. YES, it was good…but it is not the second coming!!

Where is “The Visitor” in this list? The movie is driven by affecting performances including a gem by Richard Jenkins and dramatizes issues of the post 9/11 world.

Hummmm…. Bet they had to really dig to come up with a top ten for Best Film. So far this year’s movie offerings have been really poor. No “standouts” this year for sure.
