BEST PICTURE
Rk	LW	Picture - Studio	HFPA	Comments
1	1	Munich - Universal		An Oscar winner that was not Globe nominated is rare... but look for Spielberg climbing the mountain after Brokeback starts to peak out
2	2	Brokeback Mountain - Focus Features	D	The hero movie of the moment, but still working a very small part of the room
3	3	Walk The Line - Fox	M/C	A well-liked hit movie... needs to fight to keep this slot
The Serious Tier
4	7	The Constant Gardener - Focus Features	D	Rachel Weisz is the muscle
-	-	Good Night, & Good Luck - WIP	D	Clooney is the muscle
-	-	Match Point - DreamWorks	D	Woody is the muscle
-	6	Capote - Sony Pictures Classics		Still looking for a clear muscle
-	-	A History Of Violence - New Line	D	Viggo isn't flexing
-	8	The New World - New Line		Malick won't come out... Q'Orianka making men over 21 sweat
-	-	Crash - Lions Gate		Still breathing, but needs to find a way back into the game in a real way
The More Frivolous Tier
5	4	King Kong - Universal		You forget that the first hour was too long... for children of all ages
-	5	Mrs. Henderson Presents - Weinstein Co.	M/C	The unerdog powerhouse... hard to dislike if you know how much is in your pension account
-	-	Pride & Prejudice	M/C	Very, very, very long shot
