Let's go back and try to determine which films would have filled out the field of 10 Best Picture nominees. For years with 9 nominees, you can only select 1 option. For years with 5, you will be able to select 5 options. Some years will be more obvious than others and some will have more options. This isn't based on personal preferences. These are realistic options based on acclaim, precursor support and other Oscar nominations.
Now it gets interesting. Make sure to choose 5.
Burn After Reading - 3 BAFTA noms, GG
Changeling - 3 Oscar noms, 8 BAFTA noms,
The Dark Knight - 8 Oscar noms, 9 BAFTA noms, PGA Departures 1 Oscar nom
Doubt - 5 Oscar noms, SAG, 3 BAFTA noms The Duchess - 2 Oscar noms
Frozen River - 2 Oscar noms Happy Go Lucky - 1 Oscar nom Man on Wire - 1 Oscar nom
In Bruges - 1 Oscar nom, 4 BAFTA noms, GG
Iron Man - 2 Oscar noms
Revolutionary Road - 3 Oscar noms, 4 BAFTA noms, GG,
Vicky Christina Barcelona 1 Oscar nom, GG
WALL-E - 6 Oscar noms, 3 BAFTA noms,
The Wrestler - 2 Oscar noms, 2 BAFTA noms,

In no order, Wall-e, Doubt, Dark Knight, Revolutionary road.
As for the fifth, maybe Changeling but I'll throw a bone to In Bruges, which, imo, is one of the best movies of that year.

Changeling Doubt The Dark Knight Wall-E The Wrestler
I feel actually pretty confident about them. Though I could see a love wave for In Bruges getting it in over either Changeling or The Wrestler.

Dark Knight, Doubt, Wall-E are givens. The Wrestler is almost certain. The last spot could go to either Changeling or In Bruges.

I haven't seen Frozen River, but Actress + Screenplay nods look pretty strong for a small indie to me
