The Windy City Picks 'Wall-E' for Best Picture
Friday, December 19, 2008 at 7:29AM
As we follow these critics groups from around the
country, it's interesting to see which ones are the furthest from the pack. Is
that a good thing? I guess so. I mean, none of them are picking Bangkok
Dangerous as their top film, and to my knowledge, The Love Guru has
gone home a loser nationwide.
But this one's just a little bit different, and you wonder if the group Roger Ebert votes for will carry more weight with Academy voters this early in the process than journalists from St. Louis, Denver, or Seattle. If it does, Wall-E might be taken more seriously as a potential Best Picture nominee.
