Don't have a lot of time, but I thought I'd send you my list of who I think is going to win this Sunday. Thought? Concerns? Yeas? Nays? Please comment!
Best Picture: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Best Director: Danny Boyle (SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE)
Best Actor: Sean Penn 'Milk'
I hear Sean Penn rocked in this movie. And, due to the Academy's snubbing of Brokeback Mountain, they'll reward this movie somehow. Hell, it may even win best picture.
Best Actress: Kate Winslet 'The Reader'
Best Supporting Actor: Heath Ledger 'The Dark Knight'
Best Supporting Actress: Penelope Cruz 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona'
Best Animated Feature Film: 'Wall-E'
I'm picking Wall-E to win a number of awards. It simply is one of the best animated movies of all time.
Best Foreign Film: 'Waltz With Bashir'
Best Original Screenplay: 'Wall-E' Andrew Stanton, Jim Reardon, Pete Docter
Best Adapted Screenplay: 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' Eric Roth, Robin Swicord
Best Documentary Feature: 'Man on Wire'
Best Original Score: 'WALL-E'
Best Original Song: 'Down to Earth' 'WALL-E'
Best Film Editing: 'Slumdog Millionaire' Chris Dickens
Did I mention that I never, ever lose on best film editing?
Best Documentary - Short Subject: 'The Witness - From the Balcony of Room 306'
Best Cinematography: 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' Claudio Miranda
Best Costume Design: 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' - Jacqueline West
Best Sound Mixing: 'WALL-E' Tom Myers, Michael Semanick, Ben Burtt
Best Sound Editing: 'WALL-E' - Ben Burtt, Matthew Wood
Best Live Action Short Film: 'Spielzeugland (Toyland)'
Best Animated Short Film: 'Presto'
Best Makeup: 'Hellboy II: The Golden Army' Mike Elizalde, Thom Flout
I thought the make-up in Hellboy was out of this world. I'm picking the upset over Dark Knight and Button.
Best Art Direction: 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'
Best Visual Effects: 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'
FINAL NOTE: Yes, I'm picking Benjamin Button to win a number of awards over Slumdog. However, I think Danny Boyle will win a Best Director oscar over Fincher. I'm just not feeling Slumdog. Of course, that means that, more than likely, Slumdog will sweep everything.
