It's probably a good thing that a lot of major Oscar contenders (ie: Revolutionary Road, Doubt, Australia, Benjamin Button, etc...) aren't showing here, because it'll give smaller films with buzz (such as Happy-Go-Lucky's leading lady, Sally Hawkins) a chance to push themselves closer towards the spotlight in time for awards consideration.
