Peter Travers' Predictable Top 10

While other critics like to load their top ten lists with obscure foreign films, Peter Travers of Rolling Stone usually goes for the mainstream; his lists often closely mirror the actual Oscar race. This year's no different:

1. Milk
2. Slumdog Millionaire
3. The Dark Knight
4. Frost/Nixon
5. Wall-E
6. Revolutionary Road
7. The Visitor
8. Doubt
9. Rachel Getting Married
10. Man on Wire

It's not that Travers is a bandwagon jumper so much as he just naturally likes what the awards machine feeds him -- swap Benjamin Button for Wall-E, and the top five films on the list could very easily become the five Best Picture nominations. Every single film on this list will get an Oscar nomination of some kind, unless Richard Jenkins is snubbed for The Visitor.
