Wow, we made it, and to think this is just the early round of Oscar consideration. By the time we hit the November time frame this list of 87 total films will most likely be whittled down to what I assume will be about 30 or so titles of actual contenders. The real question is just how many from this preliminary list will be left standing once we get to that point? 20? 15? Less?
No matter, this is all for fun anyway as well as taking a moment to introduce you to a few films you may not have known were coming out this year. After all, isn’t it better to be “in the know” so you can impress your friends?
In today’s fourth and final installment we have the final 13 individual films to make my preliminary list followed by the ten films I can currently see as Animated Feature Film contenders as well as five films I see as potential Documentary contenders. However, if any of you know of more documentaries or even more animated films I have overlooked please share in the comments below.
I will again remind you all, this is merely a guide to potential nominees, not a guarantee, not a lock, but simply films that could potentially go on to be remembered at the year-end Oscar race. A few of these films may not even be released in 2010. Several of these films still don’t have distribution. A few of these films just started production. Suffice to say, this list, as the headline says, is preliminary.
If you have missed any of the previous installments there are links to parts one, two and three at the end of page two of this post and tomorrow, Friday, March 19, I will be posting the complete list in its entirety so you have a place to go until I finally finish up and debut the new “The Contenders” section. As the year goes on several of these films will drop off the list, others will be added and just like last year we will ultimately end up with our front-runners.
With all that said, let’s get started with part four, and finish this bad boy up…
