Obviously it’s too early to say, but the film does indeed look very promising. Check out the images and trailer and let us know what you think!

I hope in nomination for Thompson, my favourite actress, and Hanks. I predict these nominations for Saving Mr Banks: best picture, actress in a leading role (Emma Thompson), actor in a supporting role (Tom Hanks), original screenplay, art direction, costume design and original score. In my opinion, Thomas Newman wins Oscar after eleven nominations but no victory so far.
