    My preference would also be for Nancy Oliver to win best original screenplay for Lars and the Real Girl. But all signs point to Juno.

    While I thought Daniel gave an amazing performance, I would not be surprised to see Jones win it. He is older and gave two great performances with Elah and No Country. Certainly better than his work in The Fugitive, which saw him win an Oscar.

    I thought Ratatouille was the usual Brad Bird excellence. Plus, it's about being creative, so it will surely hit close to home for Oscar voters, but I am rooting for Persepolis, which was fantastic in its own right.

    You left off a number of categories and nominees, including my all-time favorite Oscar nominee Kevin O'Connell, who is up for Best Achievement in Sound for: Transformers (2007). It's his 20th nomination without a win. Susan Lucci thinks the guy has had it rough.

    My predictions are as follows:

    Daniel Day-Lewis, plain and simply brillant.
    Julie Christie, Best Actress
    Javier Bardem
    Amy Ryan
    No Country for Old Men, directing
    No Country for Old Men, picture (although Atonement might creep in)

    no country for bp, Daniel day lewis gave great performance, ruby dee will finally win sa, director its hard to say. Most bp wins don't include bd the last one was scoresse but he was well overdue and it wasn't his best work. I still would like to see cohen bros win. They didn't get it with Fargo, maybe its their due.

    Well, the ratings may be low but it looks as if the international Islam press is paying attention. Here is a story written by a Pakistani journalist who was apparently reporting live from the red-carpet and giving opinion on the night's winners!
