Oscar Buzz: Will 'Revolutionary Road' be nominated for Best Picture?
Current forecast: 40% chance

Combining all predictions, the current forecast is that this is 40% likely to happen (unchanged in last 1 day)
Nominations aren't released until January 22nd, but its never too early to start picking our favorites.
Synopsis: Set in 1955, the plot focuses on the hopes and aspirations of Frank and April Wheeler, self-assured Connecticut suburbanites who see themselves as very different from their neighbors in the Revolutionary Hill Estates. April is an aspiring actress who yearns to move to Paris, while Frank copes with toiling away at a corporate job he despises by drinking too heavily and engaging in an affair with a co-worker. The couple's marriage slowly dissolves into an endless cycle of bitter arguments and jealous recriminations.
This is the first movie since Titanic that stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet (although somehow I don't think it will pull quite that much). It isn't released until the day after Christmas in an obvious Oscar move. Will it work?
