Clint Eastwood's "The Exchange" (formerly "Changeling") is the first major contender for Best Picture AND Angelina Jolie has a strong shot at Best Actress
The Evidence:
This is a brief excert from the Variety review, and as I type this I'm finding more and more good reviews from the film's Cannes screening.
"A thematic companion piece to "Mystic River" but more complex and far-reaching, "Changeling" impressively continues Clint Eastwood's great run of ambitious late-career pictures. Emotionally powerful and stylistically sure-handed, this true story-inspired drama begins small with the disappearance of a young boy, only to gradually fan out to become a comprehensive critique of the entire power structure of Los Angeles, circa 1928. Graced by a top-notch performance from Angelina Jolie, the Universal release looks poised to do some serious business upon tentatively scheduled opening late in the year."
