Here are mine...have not seen ANY of the nominated films.
Picture: No Country for Old Men
Director: Coen Brothers
Actor: Daniel Day Lewis
Actress: Julie Christie...Marion Cotillard is a close second and might pull an upset
Supporting Actor: Javier Bardem
Supporting Actress: Hardest to pick, but I'm leaning towards Ruby Dee, especially if Julie Christie doesn't win because the Academy has to give one sentimental, almost lifetime achievement award.
Agree? Disagree? Dont' give a shit?

12. It did sort of catch up with us because of the strike... |
|
...usually I find myself rooting AGAINST someone these days...this year I'm not, which probably means I don't care either!

I hate to say it, but I'll be watching what people are wearing, especially since I don't think the actual awards will be all that suspenseful! :hi:

Best Actor Daniel Day Lewis for There Will be Blood.

Norbit is up for Best Makeup.
The world will come to an end if Norbit wins an Academy Award for ANYTHING!

13. Academy voters may be dumb... |
|
...but they're not stupid...still, just the nomination itself is scary.

18. I don't know, jmowreader. |

Consider this: Red Buttons and Eminem have won Oscars, but Ian McKellen and Ian Holm haven't.
Mel Gibson, Kevin Costner, and Warren Beatty have won Best Director, but Alfred Hitchcock, Ernst Lubitsch, Howard Hawks, Robert Altman, and Sidney Lumet haven't. What weird parallel universe do we live in here?
There's a nice long list of film greats, including Satyajit Ray, Barbara Stanyck, Deborah Kerr, and Peter O'Toole, who have gotten lifetime achievement Oscars but never took home the statuette in competition.
