Okay, so for best director, people are saying Danny Boyle will win for "Slumdog Millionaire", and I actually hope he will win. I've never seen this movie, but I'd like to.
Best actor: Mickey Rourke will win for "The Wrestler" and as for who I want to win....I think I'll root for Frank Langella (he's nominated for "Frost/Nixon"). I know he's a bit of a long shot, but I like him (he plays Bob Alexander in Dave, in case you were interested), plus I tend to like historical dramas....
Best Actress: I think Meryl Streep will win for "Doubt", I think Kate Winslet should win for "The Reader". I like Kate Winslet, she's long overdue for an Oscar win, end of story.
Best Supporting Actor: People say Heath Ledger will win for " The Dark Knight", I think Heath should win. Enough said.
Best Supporting Actress: I have no freaking clue. Um... Either Penélope Cruz for "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" or Taraji P. Henson for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" will win and... who I think should win? Um... I'll go with Amy Adams or Viola Davis, both in "Doubt". I like Amy Adams (yes, I'm making a lot of my decisions based on that!) and I heard Viola Davis was good. But I won't cry or anything if they don't win.
Best Animated Film: WALL-E is predicted as a shoo-in, and all I can say is it BETTER win! I think if by a huge upset it doesn't win, I may cry. Yes, very mature, I know. ; )
Best Original Score: "Slumdog Millionaire" won the Golden Globe for this category and will probably win the Oscar. However, judging by the snippets on iTunes, I will probably root for... "Defiance". It has some great string action going on. But I also liked the scores for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and "WALL-E", too.
Best Original Song: I'm thinking "Jai Ho" from Slumdog Millionaire will win and.... I kind of think it should.
Best Picture (they also save this for last): Unless "Milk" can pull an upset, "Slumdog Millionaire" will win, and that's the one I'll be rooting for. : )
Well, that was long. I hope you enjoyed this and I can't wait to see the Oscars!
