Oscar Race Ends 23 Days Early

The DGA Awards aren't exactly known for throwing the Oscar race into a frenzy of "what ifs" but last night's crowning of Danny Boyle, or plaqueing of Danny Boyle as the case may be, officially makes this the dullest most predictable Best Picture race (Slumdog Millionaire wins with ease) since... since... Maybe since Titanic. If it wasn't already. Which it probably was. And the 1997 lineup was almost as meh as 2008's.


In the absence of real Oscar drama which category are you clinging to? Which race do you hope can be squeezed like a rock to drip droplets of suspense?
