Go on then, have a punt. Who do you reckon will win the big four categories?
Best picture
Babel
The Departed
Letters From Iwo Jima
Little Miss Sunshine
The Queen
Best director
Clint Eastwood, Letters From Iwo Jima
Stephen Frears, The Queen
Paul Greengrass, United 93
Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu, Babel
Martin Scorsese, The Departed
Best actor
Leonardo DiCaprio, Blood Diamond
Ryan Gosling, Half Nelson
Peter O'Toole, Venus
Will Smith, The Pursuit of Happyness
Forest Whitaker, The Last King of Scotland
Best actress
Penelope Cruz, Volver
Judi Dench, Notes on a Scandal
Helen Mirren, The Queen
Meryl Streep, The Devil Wears Prada
Kate Winslet, Little Children
Fans of Borat will probably already know that the film is up for Best Adapted Screenplay.

United 93.... ???we are talking about good direction. Not using a tragic event to carry you along. Direction was absolute shite. If it gets anything its only because of sympathy. |

C'mon, the direction was brilliant, reminiscent of Greengrass' work in Bourne Supremacy. It brilliantly captured the chaos and fear that reigned on 9/11, and it was way better than World Trade Center. I'd nominate it for best movie if I had my way,

I'd nominate it for best movie if I had my way, I fear that if you had your way, GIASI would be picking soap bars off the floor. LOLOL I would put money on The Queen, Martin Scorsese, Forest Whitaker and Helen Mirren. In that order. |

Babel, Scorsese, Will Smith, Helen Mirren.
I think Babel cos of its international appeal and sheer scale of production (6 countries was it?)
I think Scorsese cos bloody hell, its about phaackin time isn't it?
Will Smith cos I think he's the whiter of the two darkies in the field. Aren't minority award winners in vogue at the moment?
..and Helen Mirren cos in that list, I'd sooner do her than Judi and Meryl, who I think are the only other actresses in the field.
