Trading will close at 4 p.m. PT on Jan. 11. If “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” wins the award, shares are worth $100. If it doesn’t, they’re worth $0.<br> <b>THE DATA:</b> Nominees include “The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button,” “Frost/Nixon,” “The Reader,” “Revolutionary Road,” “Slumdog Millionaire.” <br> <b>THE PR:</b> Although we’ll give a nod to “Slumdog,” this one should come down to “Curious Case” and “Frost/Nixon” – and we’re <i>just</i> going to throw our hat in with the latter. Sure, “Curious Case” has quality written all over it, but expectations are simply too high for the Christmas-day major release. Once the marketing buzz wears off, sentiment can only decline. Whereas “Frost/Nixon” is benefitting from the traditional phased release, enabling word-of-mouth to grow. And it will only gain momentum: the heavyweight climax, an interview between David Frost and a pardoned Nixon, is some of the best stuff we’ve seen this year.<br><br><b>LEARN MORE: </b><br> See the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.goldenglobes.org/"> Golden Globes</a> site.<br> 0 53971 Benjamin Button Best Drama 0 1439 2009-01-12T06:34:31-08:00 2000 GGCCB
