I'm not going to give you the nominations, but here's some predictions:
BEST PICTURE-DRAMA
Who Should Win: Slumdog Millionaire. Danny Boyle's will win some awards, but favoritism for other films will leave it in the dust. Unfortuantely, this great movie may be snubbed, even if it is gaining popularity.
Who Will Win: It's a tough call, but The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. A great cast and an odd story will surely win people over. Though I have not seen it yet, I'm going to say it could win it all.
BEST PICTURE-MUSICAL OR COMEDY
Who Should Win: Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Although the Academy is usually a sucker for Woody Allen movies, this one is different. Great acting and a great movie, but not the favorite here.
Who Will Win: Burn After Reading. Coen Brothers + comedy + great cast=many awards.
BEST ACTOR-DRAMA
Who Should Win: Mickey Rourke. Needless to say, Mickey Rourke is the best actor of the year. Nuff said.
Who Will Win: Mickey Rourke.
BEST ACTOR-MUSICAL OR COMEDY
Who Should Win: James Franco...but it's for Pineapple Express. What are the chances of that winning an award? Slim to none.
Who Will Win: It's a tossup. None of them really jump out at me.
BEST ACTRESS-DRAMA
Who Should Win: Anne Hathaway. One of the most talked about performances of the year is sure to win.
Who Will Win: Anne Hathaway.
BEST ACTRESS-MUSICAL OR COMEDY
Who Should Win: Sally Hawkins. Although Happy Go Lucky won't win best picture for comedy, this is a likely candidate.
Who Will Win: Again, it's a tossup.
BEST DIRECTOR
Who Should Win: Danny Boyle. Again, Slumdog Millionaire may not have enough popularity to take it home.
Who Will Win: David Fincher. I'm pretty sure they will sucker in for his weepy/beautiful imagery.
BEST ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Who Should and Will Win: Heath Ledger. First off, he's dead which could work for or against him. Second, his performance was amazing. Third, to the other nominees: "Why so serious?"
BEST ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Who Should and Will Win: Penelope Cruz. As a psycotic ex-girlfriend, she really works magic. Not to mention she has been a favorite from the start.
Next post is TV.
