Oscar Predictions

OK, so the Oscars have already started, and I should have written this post earlier...but I had Internet problems earlier. All of the big awards (except Actor in a Supporting Role) have not been announced yet so my predictions are still in time (Bardem was a given for that award in my mind anyway).

Actor in a Supporting Role - Javier Bardem

Bardem was absolutely terrifying in No Country for Old Men. Not only was the movie one of the best I've seen in a while, but Bardem was probably my favorite villain ever. The hairdo was definitely the icing on the cake.

Actress in a Supporting Role - Saoirse Ronan

Tilda Swinton was good in Michael Clayton but I think Ronan was pretty good too even though I didn't really care for Atonement. Damn, Swinton just won as I was writing this.....she was deserving.

Actor in a Leading Role - Daniel Day-Lewis

DDL was incredible in There Will Be Blood. The movie was one of those films where I want to see it again just to see DDL again. Clooney was really good in Michael Clayton, definitely worthy too.

Actress in a Leading Role - Kate Blanchett

Blanchett could be splitting the vote here with herself in the supporting category, but....alright, this is pretty much a guess. Ellen Page was good in Juno.

Score - Atonement

While I didn't really like this movie at all, the score was actually really good.

Editing - No Country For Old Men

The scene where Brolin shot the dog coming at him was good editing.....I think. I really can't say I have a lot of knowledge about this category. The movie was good. I know that.

Directing - No Country For Old Men

This was by far my favorite movie this year (and one of my favorite movies period). Maybe I'm just rooting for this one, but I think it's going to win a bunch tonight in a lot of close races with There Will Be Blood.

Best Picture - No Country For Old Men

I hope the Coens get the award this year because I enjoyed this film so much. I'll be buying the DVD and watching it again the day it's released. There Will Be Blood is a strong contender, but I didn't think the film was as good as Daniel Day-Lewis' performance.
