I had some free time, and so, without much ado, I present:

I don't think the award is gonna go to Mark Wahlberg. I'm thinking Eddie Murphy or Alan Arkin. I'm hoping that Pan's Labyrinth will win for best original screenplay.

I agree about Wahlberg, but I can dream...

I wouldn't do a list like this unless I'd actually seen all of the movies....you can't really be a fair judge, otherwise. I mean, you picked 'The Departed' for 4 of the main awards, because you saw it and really liked it.

It is really good though. Very well done, excellent story, fantastic acting, amazing soundtrack don't Jack Nicholson...he can be my mob boss anyday...

I know but still....if you haven't seen the others.....JIMMY GOT SOUL, Brendan!

JIMMY GOT COKE TOO!

Oh, one MORE teensy thing...Peter O'Toole. The man has been nominated for the best actor award 7 TIMES and never won. I think that might get political...plus he's supposed to be fantastic, though, again, haven't seen it.

In response to all of your other posts...

Yes, I haven't seen all of them, so I can't judge everything equally. But I've seen a bunch of these, and it's just my opinions on the subject. I had some free time, and this was fun to write up.

Also, Peter O'Toole doesn't stand a chance. No one doesn't think Forest Whitaker will win. I haven't seen either movie, though, so we'll see on Sunday.

Give the old man some CREDIT. The Oscars are a popularity contest, not about who's actually done the best. They'll throw him a bone!

The Oscars award talent far more than any other big award show (Grammys, etc). Forest Whitaker won at the Golden Globes, and I'm 99% sure he'll win at the Oscars.
