The 80th Academy Awards are only hours away, and I wanted to share my predictions now so that if I’m correct, I’ll look like a great movie analyst. Unfortunately, tonight’s winners will not have the opportunity to drive the Oscar Mayer Wiener Mobile. (Get it, OSCAR! Nevermind.)Best Picture – No Country for Old Men
Best Actor – Daniel Day-Lewis - There Will Be Blood
Best Actress – Marion Cotillard - La Vie en Rose
Best Supporting Actor – Javier Bardem - No Country for Old Men
Best Supporting Actress – Ruby Dee - American Gangster
Best Director – Joel Coen and Ethan Coen - No Country for Old Men
Adapted Screenplay – No Country for Old Men
Original Screenplay – Tony Gilroy - Michael Clayton
Best Foreign Language Film – Beaufort (the Israeli film)
Best Animated Feature Film – The Simpsons Movie I don’t care if this movie wasn’t nominated; I feel like there may have been a strong write-in vote for Homer and family. Of the actual nominees, I guess Ratatouille.
Jason, one of the stars of Michael Clayton, has predictions for every single category at his site.
Unlike the Grammy Awards, there will not be a live journal as I just returned from a weekend in Pittsburgh and need to be at work early on Monday. Enjoy the ceremony and feel free to leave your picks and any comments about the show!
7 for 10. Not too shabby especially since I picked 5 of the 6 big ones (best picture, best director and the acting categories).
ReplyDeletehow could you ignore juno!?
ReplyDeleteI didn't ignore Juno; I just picked Michael Clayton since I personally know someone in the movie.
ReplyDeletei feel shafted. tony so should have won over juno. juno was great, don't get me wrong, even joel coen told me he liked juno, but i felt tony deserved the win for a body of work.
