Actually, this is probably the least I've been interested in the Oscars in awhile. I haven't seen very many of the best picture nominees, the one I have seen I didn't think was all that great, the movies I have seen that are nominated for major awards I know won't win. So I'll post some half-assed predictions/comments now...
Best Actor In Leading Role:
I saw: The Visitor, Benjamin Button
Of those two, I'd give it to Richard Jenkins in The Visitor
But I doubt he will get it, I'm getting Pitt, Langella, or Penn.
Supporting Roll:
I saw: Tropic Thunder, Batman
Of those two: Okay - first of all Heath should have been in the LEADING ROLE nominees - The Joker had as much screen time as Batman...so anyway, it's not fair to put these two up against each other. Ledger should get best actor, Downey should get best supporting. But no one asked me.
But they will probably give it to Ledger not because they actually watched 'Dark Knight' but because they feel bad for snubbing him all these years.
Best Actress:
Yeah, I didn't see any of these movies...
Best Supporting Actress:
I saw: Benjamin Button....not a very difficult role to play
I want Amy Adams to win because she is cutest...how's that? LOL!
Animated Feature:
I saw: Wall-E and it should win. There's no way the other two are as timeless.
Also, this category is BS - it was solely created to avoid having animated pictures be in the best picture category. Because they know Pixar would kick ass every year they made a movie.
Directing:
I saw: CCoBB

bittertwee saw Slumdog Millionaire and worships the celluloid it was printed on.
If they give it to Danny Boyle for Slumdog, then they will give Best Picture to the craptastic CCoBB...
