While probably not influential, it wouldn't surprise me if these choices were close to what we'll see in the major awards.

One of them is a street wise child of the streets, the other an albino millionaire who solves crimes as a hobby- together they are "Slumdog & Milk" coming to theaters this summer!

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the Oscars matched the acting categories and the Best Picture. Although I don't think Hathaway will win for RACHEL GETTING MARRIED. The Oscar is between Streep and Winslet, Winslet is going to win since she is way overdue.
Oh, and Rosemarie DeWitt is from RACHEL GETTING MARRIED not BENJAMIN BUTTON
