The Oscars are less than six months away and although plenty of Academy Award-worthy films have already lit up screens during the earlier part of 2009, there's still plenty of show to be had before the year is over.

We're taking a look at the last batch of Oscar contenders that are getting in under the wire and are poised to pick up nominations, if not wins, when the golden statuettes are handed out March 7.

Whether it's the actors involved, a visionary director at the helm, a gripping story that pulls viewers in or peerless visuals that wow the senses, these films represent our picks for likely Oscar favourites.

    • Swank's film is disappointing the critics, and is not doing good Box Office, although it did surge from 11th to sixth mid week. She may still get a nom, but a win isnt likely.
      Sidibe and esp Mulligan, are in the hunt. Cornish is marginal.
      Streep is still the one to beat. we cant rule out Mirren for the Last Station.
      Outside chance to Robin Wright Penn
