Who is going to take home Oscar's top prize, Best Picture, tonight?
I've given up trying to guess who is going to win Oscars because the decisions in the past have been as scatty as a flock of sheep, so I'd rather say what I'd like to win.
For best picture I'd like either Atonement or There Will Be Blood. Both are worthy of it and I am just happy that Keira Knightley hasn't been nominated for Best Actress (a good decision for once).
Daniel Day Lewis should definitely win best actor for There Will Be Blood and I'd love to see Casey Affleck win for best supporting actor but I don't think he will.
Best Actress should be Marion Cotillard purely because there is a chance she might be off her tits when she goes up to collect and she did put in a pretty good performance in La Vie En Rose. If Ellen Page wins the cynic in me thinks it will be to get more about the press coverage rather than her performance. She did do a convincing job in Juno but it was hardly the most challenging role.
Supporting Actress: Cate Blanchett for I'm Not There even though the film sort of washed over me.
And director, I've not see the Diving Bell and the Butterfly so that rules that one out. Juno again was a good film but I don't think the director really sweated it. No Country for Old Men was good and skillfully directed as was There Will Be Blood but I enjoyed the latter more so I'm going for that.
Just have to wait until tomorrow morning to see if I get my wish.
