The launch event Redford spoke at is Chicago 10, a mixed media take on the 60s counterculture Yippies and their 1969 trial. The group included Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin, as well as former Fonda spouse Tom Hayden, who attended the event. Reviews are mixed.

This year’s first breakout appears to be Laura Linney/Philip Seymour Hoffman starrer The Savages from Fox Searchlight, directed by Tamara Jenkins of Slums of Beverly Hills fame.
