Of the most acclaimed movies of 2008, I have seen The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Wrestler, The Dark Knight, Revolutionary Road, Wall-E and Slumdog Millionaire.  Revolutionary Road was probably my favorite.  I still really want to see Frost/Nixon and The Reader.  Milk, not so much.

8. Documentary – Man on a Wire
9. Original Screenplay – Milk
10. Adapted Screenplay – Slumdog Millionaire
11. Best Picture – Slumdog Millionaire
