Just like the Best Picture Poll.  Entering Oscar Season.  Lock in your Answers now. 

I've allowed you to change your vote, so we'll see how the landscape changes throughout the season.

For other, I'm looking for names that might generate serious Oscar consideration.

Interesting that you think DiCaprio will get the recognition and Pitt will get the snub.

I'm not yet buying into the Oscar hype around Benjamin Button, I just don't really see them going for an arty Fincher film.

But they love DiCaprio, and him playing Don Draper should be right up their alley.

But everyone thinks Button's the favorite, so I'm probably wrong.
