Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker seems like a safe bet for a best supporting actor nomination but what about...
Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) scoring a nomination for Best Actor or
Jason Segal getting some Oscar recognition for Best Original Screenplay or
Maybe even a Best Picture nomination for WALL-E or The Dark Knight.
I caught this little segment on NPR and thought it was kind of interesting.
I don't really think the Oscars need saved but it would be nice if they actually did look at movies that weren't just released in what is known as "Oscar Season"--late fall into early winter. Because sometimes...movies and performances do get overlooked. But I also think Oscar voting and nominating goes in cycles...or more specificially...there's a correcting effect (that I don't think is predetermined) that prevents the Oscar's from going to either extreme.
