I've seen:
Frost/Nixon
Slumdog Millionaire
Milk
Burn After Reading(Are you sure this is being considered? I haven't seen it up for any awards. Gran Torino has more than this)
Revolutionary Road
So far it's a toss up between Frost/Nixon and Slumdog Millionaire in my opinion.

(Admittedly I haven't seen it), but I am unsure if Slumdog Millionaire will have the traction to get some of the big money Oscars. Something like Best Actor or Actress is possible, but its really hard to win Best Picture or Best Director unless the movie was somewhat successful at the box office.
Its a complete shame that more people don't go out and see movies like Slumdog Millionaire that actually are something different, but it may end up really hurting Slumdog Millionaire's chances. We will see.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
Any news of the Dark Knight and Wall-E bieng nominated?
I can't see why not.
aside from that, so what's the deal with Frost/Nixon.
I mean personally I don't see why reinact it in a movie rather than just release the actual interview itself. I think I would much rather see that. Or does the movie offer more "behind the scenes" type of look?

Actually I have a feeling it'll gather very few, if any acting nominations, because the main characters are played each by three distinctly different actors. There is a child version, teenage version and adult version. Maybe Kev Patel can get a nom but he hasn't had much support so far, so I would say not.
Best Picture doesn't need to be successful at the box office to get big money Oscars. A lot of money is usually made post-Oscars off the buzz of the wins.
In any case, I'm going to hold out final opinion until I see a few more movies, like Benjamin Button, Doubt and The Wrestler.
@Commando-It's everything that leads up to the interviews. It's all the research performed, and the buildup of tension before they go and sit down.

havent seen any, but Marley & Me should win some awards.
None of them (your list). In fact, I can't really say I've even heard of any of them. However, I did see The Dark Knight, Wall-e, Get Smart, and a few other movies this year 
ohhh OK. Thanks Onyx.
