Michael Phillips and A.O. Scott review Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland", "CopOut", "The Crazies", "The Art of the Steal", "Prodigal Sons", and "October Country". The critics also reveal their picks for this year's Academy Award winners in the "Best Picture" category in the "Out Pick the Critics" segment. Phillips and Scott predict that either "The Hurt Locker" or "Avatar" will take home the best picture award, but also acknowledge that an upset by "Inglorious Basterds" is also possible.
