Lincoln is gonna be about freeing the blacks, which Hollywood loves. The Master has the perception that its about scientology, which will cost it some votes. Lincoln just looks like pure Oscar bait.

as did Gangs of NY and Curious Case of BB both of which combined were nominated for nearly every category (23 nominations total) and only won 3 of them. all three of the wins in the art/makeup/visual.

Lincoln could very well win a ton I mean who really knows, but I just don't see it happening. If anything that Les Misrebales will likely win for best picture and director.

I don't know. It seems like Lincoln is going to go the way of War Horse. Overly sentimental contrived purpose that's supposed to garner some type of emotion.

I mean, that's why the film is made, but I don't know if I can deal with that knowing that.

Schindler's List was wayyy different because you were brought to the lowest of lows and the shining light was the sentimental stuff that brought you out of the depths.

Not to say that slavery wasn't bad or bad enough. Just that this film could either be on the good side of the spectrum Glory/The Color Purple or the other side The Help.

ETA Don't know how that will affect the acting and the Oscar chances.
