If it does, it is going to win for its emotion, a smidge of risk and also incredibly timely. It's also a great looking and smart film that should connect with the mainstream. Probably one of the rare few adult movies that will do this (sad but true). On the politics side, it's got surefire Clooney (hollywood royalty at the prow) and Reitman has pedigree in his family, and he has even been nominated in the past. The only thing it needs under its belt at this point is some serious commercial success which is very likely to happen. Not my favourite film of the the year (That'd be ENTER THE VOID), but it's probably going to end up in the top 5, so yea, I'd be happy to see golden-man go to a young canadian director who has pretty much artistically surpassed his dad (even if I have a massive soft spot for GHOSTBUSTERS and STRIPES).
