" This is it the best picture category five field competing for the top prize are The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. FROST/NIXON. Milk the reader and slum dog millionaire let's take a look. -- almost. Same age. --"

" This is. When your rent office. You're gonna dorm opposite sometimes that our model is in the strictest sense of normal legal but you'll pulled him because I read the great -- is that correct you really think that in certain situations. The president can decide whether it's in the best interest of the nation and then. Do something illegal arms sharing our women president don't hurt but names it's not illegal. Now remember we're neighbors and."

" And aren't we invited you. My boyfriend. -- plus one. Local regulations it very hard ticket to get them and they hear. The different machine. It's cute. I'm content. -- you know it's no idea what it means."

" What he's studying in town. The -- okay. You can read it. Because if it's."

" You own your own."

" I'm guessing. That is until brother."

" Well me I don't know it. That's a tough one. I just feel so much I see that movie if it's good it's bad that was the party started getting hopeful really helpful to might -- by the way I -- was overlooked in the Oscar I tell yeah -- a lot of."

" Lot of talent on screen right right I loved it I loved that this is the sleazy Bombay. The most. It was I think I -- and asking him to let people know -- right right oh yeah so let's talk about."

" Who will win this huge category this is all or nothing right here exact -- time I'm gonna back I'm gonna back up a step."

" I would -- the category much as I'd like FROST/NIXON and the reader. I don't put while -- and the Dark -- in a moment on. How I -- I think it's absolutely visionary animation on the that the idea that it might even have competition from Kung Fu panda you know how to survive roll up and I think it it's it's million class by its own right and absolutely want to be you know."

" Two were possibly -- three best things Pixar has ever done is that -- bit -- at Pixar lately but boy. They're on the wrong track going after -- while because Wally is really good and Dark Knight again. You know it's just a big knock out of a film and yeah what a big screen knock out of a film is supposed to be so so I think that would. What I've what who who I think will win. Slum dog and more power sort of up against that except that I'm not quite on the -- though expressed -- not a slob don't local. But -- though expressed I -- I'd I'd again I'd vote for Benjamin button because I think it took the unlikeliest. Source material by the way went back and read that's sort of short story by steps Scott Fitzgerald it's not very good. This -- movie version is much bigger and grander and -- that story is -- how often say that's between the writers that Scott Fitzgerald right it is here. It just it goes more places in more interest in ways that I would have thought possible given this material. So what I I respect -- from this screenplay the actor's director on down. I would hope that the best picture isn't going to win no way it's too boasting that applies to long to -- into this -- that. But I vote for."

" What you thought well -- I think some dog's gonna take it I'm happy to see it out I think ironically you know here's movie that most people you know there's no stars they've heard of it third of it isn't a foreign language it takes place nowhere in America. It's the most old fashioned Hollywood movie of the -- really want it because it tells a story about iconic characters going to struggle. And you win them when they come out on top I don't want to give away the ending but it is and feel good movie and you feel like you've really been told. A story about people you care for but not necessarily complicated characters but there really you know their iconic -- kind of characters that you both. You know I've been addicted story it really says. Feel like old fashioned entertainment cut -- Kind of movement that you know when people complain they don't make them like they used to help this is a movie that they -- that it could ignite your own. Benjamin button. Probably have a Benjamin button. Boris contract without. Sort of way that's on the outside the area are."

" Gone because this is this is a much better achievement the as far as public goes places far as the beginning of the Carter the Forrest -- to go to. It's about time and just about how this guy is always an outsider it's about the time I spent watching it waiting for it to sort of Clyde out yeah I'll defend his -- fellow spent years in of -- taken out of life. Another movie was about time and I think very effectively and about a range of human experience and about how human experiences altered board when you wore an outsider."

" I'm like that's what's really clearly about I've -- you know I remember the reader reading about it and seeing that the director had to delay shooting because."

" The the co star the young and hasn't. That awaits a relentlessly turned eighteen so I think that's exactly right so what do you think about this movie could come from nowhere and I."

" I don't know I don't let me stay out of jail it's sexy and I enjoyed the movie -- and went it was. A much better move would not vote could possibly be. But it I think that it does not deserve to win was not going to come out of nowhere in fact I think it -- there's so much that things -- not really quite made the finals will be on."

" It expects Dark Knight -- across that this just. Doesn't that would be hurt doesn't."

" I would I would agree with -- that I would for Wally in the Dark -- I have I think it's great movie I -- couple problems and didn't -- necessarily -- in this category. Nixon is a good sort of -- you know. Oscar you it's the kind of good gets nominated for oscars -- tax -- Pilots sent no great movie FROST/NIXON I don't get any actors."

" At least let Allah a nomination does it is. This is it enough for a -- FROST/NIXON. No sure should be and it was it is surprising piece of work again because surpasses expectations. It goes places you don't think -- him go even though you think you know going in -- going to be all about. After all it was an Oscar winning documentary about -- I know. That -- gonna have to be that these people studied. As as homework and learn some good lessons from god and especially. Meaning in subways and on Hannity and not just in the regular milk and catches you know -- enters the population us. -- sure as it could do to deserve the win not quite. -- second what should I just become an issue is that you've got five films here for the people. Don't feel truly enthusiastic that one of them is one that everybody feels enthusiastic about that's one dot."

" definitely stop you guys are right there though to have that this year's Oscar edition of -- heart screening room thanks to Boston Globe film critic piper."

" He was talking -- I date night I would like everything's already oscars."
