Frost/Nixon
Oscar-nominated screenwriter and playwright Peter Morgan (The Queen) brings his Tony-award winning play to the big screen. It’s the dramatic retelling of how the post-Watergate television interviews between British talk-show host David Frost (The Queen’s Michael Sheen) and former president Richard Nixon (Frank Langella) came together, along with all the machinations it took to get Nixon to admit that, yes, he was a crook. As a character piece, this may be more of an Oscar showcase for Langella and Sheen, who are both reprising their stage roles, but it has a good chance to win a coveted spot on the list, especially since Academy darling Ron Howard is at the helm.
