THE NOMINEES:
"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"
"Frost/Nixon"
"Milk"
"The Reader"
"Slumdog Millionaire"
WHO SHOULD WIN:
Fareed Ben-Youssef: "Frost/Nixon"
"Frost/Nixon" has an electric dynamic throughout as well as confident direction. Unlike the other films, it doesn't get lost in its overtly beautiful aesthetic.
Adam Tanaka: "Slumdog Millionaire"

Jun Koh: "Frost/Nixon"
I think the interactions between Frost and Nixon are more dramatic and engaging than the visual aesthetics in the other four films.
Isia Jasiewicz: "Slumdog Millionaire"

WHO WILL WIN: "Slumdog Millionaire"
Its fan base is really massive, and I think the Academy will respond to people's opinions. — AT
