Oscar Predictions

It's T minus 3 days to the Oscars, the holy day of film. After long consideration I have decided upon my predictions.

Best Picture: Slumdog Millionaire- It just has so much going for it, its winning everything, I think everyone in the Academy loves it too. While "Milk" and "Frost/Nixon" were excellent, I think this has a big edge.

Best Actress: Kate Winslet- It is time! I don't think the Academy is enough of a fan of nuns to vote for Meryl Streep, and Kate has been deserving of one for a while.

Best Actor: Mickey Rourke- This is my riskiest pick. It's neck and neck in predictions against him and Sean Penn. See my earlier post about this face off.

Best Director: Danny Boyle- Most of the time, director and picture are the same, Boyle is a safe bet.

Best Supporting Actress: Viola Davis- She was really emotional, those looked like real tears as the mom of the boy in question in "Doubt", she really brought the force to that movie right when it needed it. Also, the other nominees are not that strong

Best Supporting Actor: Heath Ledger- No doubt. I can't wait to see tiny Matilda Ledger accept his award.

Best Documentary: Man on Wire- While I am pulling for Herzog's "Encounters at the End of the World", I don't think it has a chance against this awesome doc, about a guy tightroping illegally across the WTC towers. The grandeur of the towers hit home for too many people, its gotta win.
