And the winner is...

Once again it's that time of the year where I tell you who would take the Oscars home if it were in my hands which, unfortunately, it isn't.  Oh well!  Here goes...



Actor in a Leading Role
This is a difficult category cause I loved both Viggo Mortensen in Eastern Promises and Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood.  Having said that, I know Daniel is going to win and that's going to make me mega happy.

Actor in a Supporting Role
Philip is one of my favorite actors but he already has an Oscar, and Hal Holbrook was awesome in Into The Wild, but in this category the Oscar should go to Javier Bardem and no one else.  His performance in No Country For Old Men was jaw-droppingly amazing.

Actress in Leading Role
Out of the 5 nominees just 2 of them deserve to be in this category, Julie Christie and Marion Cotillard. They are both incredible, whoever wins would be great.  But for sure Julie is going to take it, her 1965 Oscar needs a little brother. 

Actress in a Supporting Role
I'm scared that since they obviously won't give it to Cate for Elizabeth, they may give her this one as a consolation prize.  I hope the academy does the right thing and Amy gets it. Ruby was great, but Amy was better.

Animated Feature Film:
Ratatouille.

Art Direction:
Jack Fisk and Jim Erickson for There Will Be Blood

Cinematography:
Robert Elswit for There Will Be Blood. Sadly and less deservingly, Roger Deakins is going to get it for No Country for Old Men.

Directing:
The Coens.  I love Paul Thomas Anderson and he deserves it.  But the Coens are gonna win.

Film Editing:
There Will Be Blood.

Makeup:
La vie en rose

Music:
Once is going to win (ugh).

Best Film:
No Country For Old Men is going to win, undoubtedly.  But There Will Be Blood Deserves to win. 

Adapted Screenplay:
This is yet again another category that No Country For Old Men will take but which There Will Be Blood deserves to win.  Actually, if it were up to me I'd give it to Mr. Anderson since he got more creative with the material.

Original screenplay
Ratatouille should win but they are going to give it to Juno, as a consolation prize for not winning (thank God) Best Film.
