Which of the 5 nominees for this year's Oscars do you feel has the best chance of winning?

Paradise Now (Palestine)
Don't Tell (Italy)
Sophie Scholl (Germany)
Joyeux Noel (France)
Tsotsi (South Africa)

I'd love to see Tsotsi win...it is my favorite of those nominees.

However, I have a feeling that Paradise Now is the sentimental favorite, and will win.

Paradise Now is the best, although I haven't seen JOYEUX...

Yeah--it's def between Tsotsi and Paradise Now. I need to get out and see these!

The reason I love foreign films is because they aren't obscured by Hollywoodisms. You don't see the work as much -- you see the culture that made them. And that is ENORMOUSLY interesting to me.

I've seen three of the five (Paradise Now, Tsotsi and Sophie Scholl) and PARADISE NOW deserves it. I believe it will win.

I found TSOTSI overrated.
