We’ve officially crossed the halfway point of this year’s Oscar Index — a bittersweet milestone where the team at Movieline’s Institute for the Advanced Study of Kudos Forensics takes a deep breath, orders a stiff drink, and then… orders another eight or so stiff drinks. While they slam their ways over the awards-season hump, join me for a quick run-through of where things stand this week.

New eight-minute clip for David Fincher’s December 21 thriller pulls together complicated narrative. By Kevin P. Sullivan Rooney Mara in “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” Photo: Columbia Pictures Trailers can ruin an entire movie. Two-minutes clips stringing together a film’s funniest moments or biggest thrills can suck the life out of a soon-to-be-released flick. Knowing that, it’s hard to imagine a director cutting together eight whole minutes of his upcoming movie and yet managing to leave the audience feeling as if they haven’t seen everything. David Fincher has done that with the latest, extra-long trailer for his upcoming murder mystery “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.” The clip, which first premiered in front of select screenings of “Straw Dogs” back in September, is now available for everyone to watch through iTunes. The trailer follows closely to the four-minute trailer that hit the Net recently, but expands on almost every element contained in that trailer. What the clip does is essentially puts all the pieces of the complicated narrative onto the board in a streamlined version, setting up both the story lines around Daniel Craig ‘s Mikael Blomkvist and Rooney Mara ‘s Lisbeth Salander, and how they come together. It stays with scenes from previous trailers for a longer amount of time, giving the audience a better feel for what to expect when the movie opens on December 21. In addition to expanding upon the story elements and characters we’ve already seen, the trailer offers the first look at Joely Richardson ‘s character, Anita Vanger. The preview also makes extensive use of the highly anticipated score from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who are reteaming with Fincher after their critically praised collaboration on the director’s last film, “The Social Network.” Watch the extended trailer for “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” on iTunes.

First single from Trent Reznor/ Atticus Ross soundtrack is Karen O cover of Led Zeppelin song. By Gil Kaufman Rooney Mara in “Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” Photo: Giles Keyte/Columbia Pictures You kind of can’t go wrong when the soundtrack you’ve put together for one of the most eagerly-anticipated literary adaptations in years kicks off Yeah Yeah Yeahs singer Karen O’s take on Led Zeppelin ‘s “Immigrant Song.” Fans heard the throbbing industrial take on the rock classic cooked up by former Nine Inch Nails mastermind and O did when a trailer for the David Fincher-directed “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” leaked back in May. And on Thursday, Oscar-winning industrial-rocker-turned-film-composer Reznor and musical partner Atticus Ross unveiled the full track list for their “Tattoo” score album. The follow-up to their award-winning “The Social Network” score was a labor of love, according to a post Reznor put up on the NIN site on Thursday announcing the disc. “For the last fourteen months Atticus and I have been hard at work on David Fincher’s ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo,’ ” he wrote about the American version of the tale of pierced and punished hacker Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara) and her muckraking journalist compatriot Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) . “We laughed, we cried, we lost our minds and in the process made some of the most beautiful and disturbing music of our careers. The result is a sprawling three-hour opus.” The album will be released on iTunes on December 9 in two versions. Right now, you can download the Karen O song on iTunes when you pre-order the 39-track album. That download purchase will also give you a link to the eight-minute “Dragon Tattoo” trailer , for which Reznor and Ross created a unique score. But, if you visit the NIN online store , Reznor is offering the soundtrack in a variety of forms, from a free six-track sampler to a deluxe 3,000-piece limited-edition signed $300 package with your choice of MP3 formats; the full album on six pieces of 180 gram vinyl; a deluxe book package with a metal cover; an exclusive custom 8 GB metal razor blade USB drive pendant containing the full album; and a fold-out poster. The full album score track list is as follows:

Over at Entertainment Weekly, David Fincher plays coy joking about The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo ‘s Oscar chances. [Some spoilers follow, though they’ll come as no surprise to those familiar with Stieg Larsson’s book or Niels Arden Oplev’s 2009 film adaptation.] How likely is is that the Academy will be so turned off by the extremes seen in Fincher’s film that they’d pass it over come nomination day?
