The Academy Awards: The Critics Vs. The Crowd

The top grossing films of 2008 were The Dark Knight, Iron Man, Indiana Jones, Hancock, and WALL-E. But the 2009 Oscar nominees for best picture are The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Frost/Nixon, Milk, The Reader, and Slumdog Millionaire.

Guests:

David Carr, culture reporter and media columnist for The New York Times

Murray Horwitz, Talk of the Nation movie guru
