Well... it seems that 127 Hours will be in the Oscar race this year and after Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire's extraordinary success, everything is possible.
The movie sounds promising, specially if we talk about James Franco (an actor with an overdue Oscar nod) portray of Aron Ralston that seems an Oscar worthy role, but will 127 Hours be in the race for big categories like Best Picture and Best Director when this year we have really strong contenders? The movie must be very good, because the competition is hard to beat.
