bob_barron 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2009 Best Picture Slumdog Millionaire - Christian Colson Slumdog in a landslide. Nobody cares about Frost/Nixon and The Reader has been getting a ton of backlash, and it's also a film that no one likes. Benjamin Button has polarised people, and Milk is still a movie about the very attractive in a way that I can't explains. Slumdog is a film that everyone has loved, it's been gaining momentum since awards season started, and the attempts at a backlash haven't really worked. Best Director Danny Boyle – Slumdog Millionaire If Slumdog's winning Best Picture, then Boyle is winning Best Director. Best Actor Mickey Rourke – The Wrestler Jenkins and Pitt have no chance, and Frost/Nixon is just limping to the show. It's a tough call between Penn and Rourke. The wrestling stuff will hurt Rourke, but people also don't like Penn. The Oscars like to tell a story, and what better story than Rourke winning, especially since Penn's won before? Best Actress Kate Winslet – The Reader Pretty easy to predict. No one has seen Frozen River, and no one cares about Changeling. Rachel Getting Married never really peaked, and Meryl Streep's won before. Winslet's 0-5 and has to win sometime, and The Reader will have to win something. Best Supporting Actor Heath Ledger – The Dark Knight I think Ledger will win, but don't be surprised if Brolin takes it. Best Supporting Actress Viola Davis – Doubt Cruz is the odds on favourite, which means she's not winning. Viola Davis' TEN MINUTES OF ACTING!~ has won over everyone but me, and it will also be some small controversy that she's in only in two scenes. Best Original Screenplay Milk - Dustin Lance Black Milk has to get something. Best Adapted Screenplay Slumdog Millionaire - Simon Beaufoy Best Animated Feature WALL-E – Andrew Stanton Best Foreign Language Film Waltz with Bashir (Israel) in Hebrew - Ari Folman Best Animated Short Oktapodi - Emud Mokhberi and Thierry Marchand Best Art Direction The Duchess – Michael Carlin, Rebecca Alleway Best Cinematography Slumdog Millionaire – Anthony Dod Mantle Best Costume Design The Duchess – Michael O'Connor Best Documentary Feature Man on Wire Best Documentary Short The Witness - From the Balcony of Room 306 Best Film Editing Slumdog Millionaire – Chris Dickens Best Live Action Short The Pig (Grisen) Best Makeup The Curious Case of Benjamin Button – Greg Cannom Best Original Score Slumdog Millionaire – A.

Rahman Best Original Song "Down to Earth" from WALL-E – Peter Gabriel and Thomas Newman (music), Peter Gabriel (lyrics) Best Sound Editing The Dark Knight – Richard King Best Sound Mixing The Dark Knight – Lora Hirschberg, Gary Rizzo, Ed Novick Best Visual Effects The Curious Case of Benjamin Button – Eric Barba, Steve Preeg, Burt Dalton, Craig Barron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2009 Penelope Cruz? whattttttttttttt? Hardly a surprise. She was the favorite. I thought everyone nominated except Davis would've been a fine winner. I like the concept they did with the introduction of the nominees but it could drag if they do this for all the acting awards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
