"Can there be an Oscar nomination for a horse?" asks Sasha Stone at Awards Daily, providing her initial thoughts about the new trailer for Steven Spielberg's Oscar-bait behemoth War Horse. I mean, it's a great question! At this point I'm wondering if there anything this film can't be nominated for.
Of course you can do without all the standard, Spielbergian tracking-in-at-gaping-white-people shots, but the rest is a sell job for the ages. More in Wednesday's Oscar Index, but spoiler alert: This one's not budging.
VERDICT: So, so there.
