Preliminary 2011 Oscar Contenders: Love and Other Drugs

Brad Brevet of Rope of Silicon has posted his list of Preliminary 2011 Oscar Contenders. There, he gives an overview of the films to expect in the 2010-2011 awards season. He gave a short glimpse of Love and Other Drugs and Anne's possible Oscar nomination:

Ed Zwick's Love and Other Drugs is already earning plenty of buzz with many saying Anne Hathaway is a surefire Best Actress nominee. Hathaway plays a woman who has Parkinson's and co-stars opposite Jake Gyllenhaal who's character falls in love with Hathaway. Many will see it's another one of those performances gaining attention due to the fact it involves a handicap or disease, and with Hathaway's continued support among the Academy ranks if the performance holds up it could be her first win, which many thought would come in 2009 when she lost to Kate Winslet for The Reader. It's a reunion for the two Brokeback Mountain stars and with the film's supposed critical eye of the pharmaceutical industry it could earn additional sympathy from all corners. It will be interesting to see what screenwriter Charles Randolph can pull off considering his previous screenplay for The Life of David Gale andThe Interpreter weren't exactly praised.
