"Along with "Avatar", prospects in the Oscar's newly expanded best-picture race of 10 films include two other sci-fi smashes, "Star Trek" and "District 9", the World War II hit "Inglourious Basterds" and the animated blockbuster "Up".
Also contending are such critical darlings as the recession tale "Up in the Air", the war-on-terror thriller "The Hurt Locker", 
the Nelson Mandela story "Invictus"
and the teen dramas "An Education" 
and "Precious: Based on the Novel `Push' By Sapphire".
Among acting favorites are lead players Sandra Bullock for the football drama "The Blind Side" 
and Jeff Bridges for the country-music tale "Crazy Heart" and supporting performers Mo'Nique for "Precious" and Christoph Waltz for "Inglourious Basterds." All four won Golden Globes for the roles.Among those who think it might be a good idea:
Christopher Nolan filming "Inception" with Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen Page."Consider critics. No critic has trouble coming up with a top-10 list", said "The Dark Knight" director Christopher Nolan, who earned a screenplay nomination for 2001's "Memento". "When you look at the critics' top-10 lists, they're broad lists, a lot of different types of movies. That works very well for critics, and maybe it'll work for the academy."

"I believe in a year where you would have `Up in the Air' and `Precious' alongside `Avatar' and `Up', I think all it does is bring more attention to the smaller films maybe people wouldn't see", said Jake Gyllenhaal, a 2005 Oscar nominee for "Brokeback Mountain".
