Slumdog Millionaire will win, though in my view The Dark Knight is a more accomplished and more subtle use of editing to propel the narrative.
Slumdog wil definitaly win.
Slumdog or TDK for Drama, WALL-E or In Bruges for Comedy. I’m hoping for WALL-E, it’ll be nice to continue WALL-E’s come-back steak after that laughable Annie snub that has everyone laughing now (hey maybe The Annies should be submitted to the Comedy category for these awards show next year).
