An official Oscar host and possible Best Picture frontrunners

It's no longer a theory; it's official: Eddie Murphy will host this year's Oscar ceremony! A good call, in my book.

In conjunction, one blog already has a list out of possible Best Picture frontrunners. I think it's a tad too early to predict that one, as buzz season doesn't begin until the later in the fall. (Though I couldn't help but notice a Clint Eastwood picture, J. Edgar, made the cut.)
