Any thoughts? Honestly I don't have a problem with any of the nominations. Here are my predictions.

Motion Picture: No Country for Old Men or There Will Be Blood
Actor in Leading Role: Daniel Day Lewis
Actress in Leading Role: Not too sure, though I would love to see Ellen Page get it.
Actor in Supporting Role: Javier Bardem, fairly obvious choice here
Actress in Supporting Role: Once again not too sure.
Director: Either Cohen brothers or Paul Thomas Anderson, I'd be really surprised if it wasn't one of them
Best Writing for Screen: Tough call here. Probably Ratatouille.
Best Writing based on other medium: No Country for Old Men is probably the most faithful adaptation here, if that correlates to an Oscar I dunno, but that would be my best guess.
Best Achievement in Cinematography: No Country for Old Men or There Will Be Blood
Editing: Bourne Ultimatum pehaps, yeah I know that doesn't seem too likely but I dunno, underdog choice I suppose
Art Direction: Sweeney Todd or There Will be Blood
Costume Design: Sweeney Todd
Makeup: Pirates
Music: I dunno
Achievement in music written for the screen: One of the Enchanted nominations
Achievement in sound: I dunno
Sound Editing: I dunno
Visual Effects: Transformers though I don't want to see it win
Animated Feature: Ratatouille
Foreign Language film: 12
Documentary: Admittedly, I don't watch any documentaries but I'd have to say Sicko from what I've heard
Short Features: Don't care


Pretty much I expect No Country or There Will be Blood to sweep up most of the oscars. I wouldn't mind seeing Juno win a few though :)

Considering it's strong ties to Minnesota, and the fact that it was a great movie, I'm rooting for Juno to win as many as possible.

No Country should win everything.

I'm really glad to see Juno got so many nods. Hope it does well.
