Usually by this point in the year, a number of movies have come out that are at the least hyped (pre-release) as Oscar contenders. Lost in Translation, No Country For Old Men, Little Miss Sunshine, and countless movies that competed for but didn't recieve Oscar noms were released by October. That's when Oscar season is supposed to start.
But not this year.
Here are the Oscar-bait movies still to be released, or only just recently starting their limited releases:
Slumdog Millionaire
Australia
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Frost/Nixon
The Wrestler
Rachel Getting Married
Synecdoche, NY
Milk
The Road
Revolutionary Road
Doubt
I mean, as far as movies released before November go, the only real potential Best Picture nominee seems to be The Dark Knight (which I'd admittedly love to see). That's strange. 6 weeks to cram in at least 11 Best Picture contenders (you can knock Syncechdoche, NY off that list, though). Highly unusual, and it'll make for an expensive next month or so.
