and the oscar goes to...

Recommended Posts

who are your picks for the oscars tonight and who do you think will ACTUALLY win....

(in italics are the who i think will "actually win")
Best Male Lead -

Forrest Whittaker - Last King of Scotland
Leonardo DiCaprio - Blood Diamond
Ryan Gosling - Half Nelson
Peter O'Toole - Venus

i think forrest whittaker is going to win, but honestly i havent seen any of these movies to make an educated guess
----------------------------------------
Best Male Suppport

Alan Arkin - Little Miss Sunshine
Jackie Earle Haley -Little Children
Djimon Hounsou - Blood Diamond
Eddie Murphy -Dreamgirls
Mark Wahlberg - The Departed

- i would love love LOVE to see alan arkin win for little miss sunshine, but i have a feeling eddie is going to win this one (i will say he did do a great job, but dreamgirls was WAY overrated - acting was great - movie itself was painful to watch)
----------------------------------------------
Best Actress Lead

Penélope Cruz -Volver
Judi Dench -Notes On A Scandal
Helen Mirren - The Queen
Meryl Streep - The Devil Wears Prada
Kate Winslet -Little Children

the only one of these that i have actually seen was devil wears prada, and quite honestly i dont think meryl was oscar worthy but thats just my opinion - everyone's talking helen so i think she'll win but i'd love to see an underdog such as penelope or kate win
----------------------------------------------
Best Actress Support

Adriana Barraza -Babel
Cate Blanchett -Notes On A Scandal
Abigail Breslin - Little Miss Sunshine
Jennifer Hudson - Dreamgirls
Rinko Kikuchi - Babel

again with my little miss sunshine theme here - i would LOVE to see abigal win she was amazing - but i think jennifer is going to take it home - like i said earlier i think the acting in dreamgirls was great and she is definitely worthy of her nod, but the movie overall - not so great
-----------------------------------------------------
Best Picture

Babel
Letters From Iwo Jima
The Departed
Little Miss Sunshine
The Queen

i actually think the departed will come out on top - however theres always a ray of hope that my favorite flick of the year will win, especially since it's picked up a TON of other awards in other ceremonies
