Pundit Poll: Can 127 Hours One-Arm Climb Its Way Back into Best Picture Contention?

There was a time when critics and Oscar pundits thought Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours was a lock to nab one of the coveted 10 Best Picture slots — if not in the top three, at least landing somewhere in the comfy middle of the pack. Then came the infamous faintings and those sluggish box-office receipts, and the jaunty amputation biopic started slipping downward in the weekly charts into the dark nether regions of the awards-season landscape, pinned between its rock-solid 93 percent Tomatometer and a very hard place: the outliers of the Best Picture 10.

Don’t Ask Justin Timberlake About Yogi Bear, and 8 More Revelations From The Social Network’s NYFF Debut

It took arriving 90 minutes early and consuming seven cups of coffee, but I managed to snag a spot at this morning’s standing-room only New York Film Festival preview screening of The Social Network — apparently the only one featuring director David Fincher, screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, and stars Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield and Justin Timberlake in one place to discuss their massively anticipated movie about the exhilarating (if ugly) advent of Facebook. And apart from learning that the film is excellent, there was much more to be discovered afterward at the Walter Reade Theater. To wit:
