This would be an interesting discussion while we wait for NEXT year's Oscar race. What if the 10 happened before 2009, what would the next 5 Best Picture nominees would've been? Guessing the #6 and #7 spots in most years are relatively easy. #'s 8, 9 and 10 are trickier even using the two years as basis for the pattern. Here's my take:

2008:

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Frost/Nixon
Milk
The Reader
Slumdog Millionaire
******************
The Dark Knight
Doubt
Frozen River
WALL-E
The Wrestler

The only one I'm not 100% sure about is Frozen River. It could easily have been Vicky Christina Barcelona or Revolutionary Road.

2007
Atonement
Juno
Michael Clayton
No Country for Old Men
There Will Be Blood
********************
Away from Her
The Bourne Ultimatum
The Diving Bell and The Butterfly
Into the Wild
Ratatouille

I think Diving Bell and Ratatouille #'s 6 & 7. The rest I'm just guessing.

2006
Babel
The Departed
Letters from Iwo Jima
Little Miss Sunshine
The Queen
*******************
Blood Diamond
Children of Men
Dreamgirls
Pan's Labyrinth
United 93

I'm certain of Dreamgirls and Pan's Labyrinth. The rest could've just as easily have been Notes on a Scandal or Little Children.

2005
Brokeback Mountain
Capote
Crash
Good Night and Good Luck
Munich
**********************
Cinderella Man
The Constant Gardener
Memoirs of a Geisha
Pride and Prejudice
Walk the Line

I'm only 100% certain of Walk the Line and The Constant Gardener.

Well, that's it for now.
