The trailer for what is supposedly the front runner for best picture this year (though at this point nobody knows anything), Charlie Wilson's War. It stars Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and Amy Adams and is directed by Mike Nichols (The Graduate).

The film is based on George Crile's book about the CIA's largest and most successful covert CIA operation, the arming of the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan. The covert ops were engineered by Charlie Wilson (Hanks), a charismatic, wheeler-dealer, liberal Texas congressman who teamed with a rogue CIA operative (Hoffman).
