Because the guild is made of one of the largest branch of voting members of the Academy (the largest is the Actor’s Branch). So take a very good look to the list below because these may very well be the Best Picture nominees of 2009

District 9
An Education
The Hurt Locker
Inglourious Basterds
Invictus
Precious
Star Trek
Up
Up in the Air

While I’m glad that films like Up, Star Treck and District 9 are getting the recognition they deserve, I’m dissappointed that 500 Days of Summer and Where The Wild Things are did not make the cut. And while we’re at it, what the hell is An Education doing on this list? It features great performances, particularly by Alfred Molina, but it falls apart in the third act.
So come on! Snd off and tell me which ones do you agree on and which one would you change.
