It's that time of the year again! Here are the nominees:

http://movies.yahoo.com/movies/featu...3nominees.html

Although i havent seen some of the movies and performances here, i'd have to say that Million Dollar Baby was Fantastic and very touching and hopefully it wins Picture of the year, and also Hilary Swank gave her absolute incredible best performance since Boy Dont Cry, so hopefully she get the best actress. And Jamie Foxx was stunningly brilliant in Ray!

My predictions:
Best Picture - Million Dollar Baby
Best Director - Clint Eastwood
Best Actor - Jamie Foxx
Best Actress - Hilary Swank
Best supporting actor - Clive Owen
Best supporting actress - Virginia Madsen

best actor - face it, Jamie Foxx will win whether you like it or not, so there's no point even selecting anyone else. I wish Paul Giamatti would have been nominated! Not that I have a problem with Foxx winning, he was great.

actress - Hilary Swank, but I'd also be pleased with Kate Winslet in 'Eternal Sunshine'

Picture - Sideways, but if Eternal Sunshine had been nominated I would pick that, a very clever, engaging, and emotionally resonant film that was overlooked. Also would be happy with "Finding Neverland" or "Million $ baby"

Director - Eastwood

Supporting Actor - Thomas Haden Church

Supporting Actress - Virginia Madsen, or I'd be happy with Natalie Portman too, but she already got the Golden Globe so let's give it to Virginia!

Screenplay - Eternal Sunshine

My predictions:
Best Picture - Million Dollar Baby

Best Director - Clint Eastwood, but...*I think the Academy might decide to give Scorcese his due and if they do, it will make it easier to give MDB the Best Picture nod...and since Eastwood is the producer, this could be a fair way to play.

Best Actor - Jamie Foxx

Best Actress - Hilary Swank

Best supporting actor - Clive Owen unless it's finally Morgan Freeman's year

Best supporting actress - Virginia Madsen unless it's finally Cate Blanchett's year

Oscars are overrated ;D

Some years, there's four really great pictures (1995), and others, there's none... yet, somebody has to win. Not saying this is one of those years, but I still look at 1962 with Lawrence of Arabia winning, and To Kill a Mockingbird following it behind, and sigh. They're both winners, and yet, the next year might produce nothing remotely on the same level, yet still be an Oscar winning picture.
