Honestly, although Whedon's screenplay will probably be one of the best of the year, the film's limited budget, exposure and early release make it highly likely to be
forgotten come awards season.
Having emerged from the
award season with little more than nominations and from the holiday movie
season without having delighted the world, War Horse seems pretty likely to be
forgotten pretty quickly, even as Spielberg returns to the prestige historical drama well with this
coming Christmas» Lincoln.
