i guess i might as well give my crappy crappy predictions, as well as who i want to win and who i don't want to win.
Best Performance by an Ensemble in a Motion Picture (or whatever it's called)
Winner: Little Miss Sunshine
Alt: The Departed
Yes!: The Departed
No!: Bobby
Best Actor
Winner: Peter O'Toole, Venus
Alt: Forrest Whittaker, Last King of Scotland
Yes!: Ryan Gosling, Half Nelson
No!: No performance is even deserving of slight criticism like "servable." Still, I guess Leonardo DiCaprio, Blood Diamond
Best Actress
Winner: Helen Mirren, The Queen
Alt: Meryl Streep, The Devil Wears Prada
Yes!: Meryl Streep, The Devil Wears Prada
No!: An amazing category...and I certainly won't yell "no!" if this happens, which it definitely will, but yeah, out of the nominees, the least is Helen Mirren, The Queen (still A+ work though)
Best Supporting Actor
Winner: Leonardo DiCaprio, The Departed
Alt: Alan Arkin, Little Miss Sunshine
Yes!: Eddie Murphy, Dreamgirls (Leo's is a better performance, but such blatant category fraud...)
No!: um, I guess Alan Arkin, Little Miss Sunshine
Note: If Eddie Murphy wins, he can write his Oscar speech right now.
Best Supporting Actress
Winner: Jennifer Hudson, Dreamgirls (even if she doesn't win she still has the Oscar in the bag)
Alt: Abigail Breslin, Little Miss Sunshine
Yes!: Jennifer Hudson, Dreamgirls
No!: Cate Blanchett, Notes on a Scandal
as far as TV goes, I can't say I've watched anything. but best actor in a comedy series - wow, never have i felt so strongly. carell, baldwin, and PIVEN!! are BRILLIANT. lee is boring and his show sucks. shalhoub will probably win because he always fucking does. oh and desperate housewives can suck it. god, i miss tv i cared about...and by that, i mean sex and the city.
