United 93 should get a Best Picture nod. And I'd love to see Sasha Baron Cohen get a Best Actor nod for Borat. The fact that he tricked a bunch of people into thinking he was really from Kazakhstan to the point that they're all now suing him has to count for something.

I know it kind of a long shot, but I'd like to see Robert Altman at least get a posthumous nomination for Best Director. I thought The Prairie Home Companion was a really good movie.
#7
Another solid year for movies. Nice to see back-to-back years featuring so many good movies. Once again, tons of great Best Actor performances. Right now, I think The Departed is the front runner with Scorsese in the bag for Director.

I don't claim to be an expert on all the catergories so I'll post five nominees (including my pick for winner) for the catergories I feel could easily have an internet argument over and still hold my ground, and just likely winners for the other ones. The nominees are ordered from most likely to least likely to win, in my opinion.
Best Picture - "The Departed"
"United 93"
"Dreamgirls"
"Little Miss Sunshine"
"Letters From Iwo Jima"
Best Director - Martin Scorsese, for "The Departed"
Paul Greengrass, for "United 93"
Clint Eastwood, for "Letters From Iwo Jima"
Stephen Frears, for "The Queen"
Bill Condon, for "Dreamgirls"
Best Actor - Forest Whitaker, for "The Last King of Scotland"
Peter O'Toole, for "Venus"
Leonardo DiCaprio, for "Blood Diamond"
Ken Watanabe, for "Letters From Iwo Jima"
Will Smith, for "The Pursuit of Happyness"
Best Actress - Helen Mirren, for "The Queen"
Meryl Streep, for "The Devil Wears Prada"
Kate Winslet, for "Little Children"
Penelope Cruz, for "Volver"
Judi Dench, for "Notes on a Scandal"
Best Supporting Actor - Leonardo DiCaprio, for "The Departed"
Eddie Murphy, for "Dreamgirls"
Michael Sheen, for "The Queen"
Alan Arkin, for "Little Miss Sunshine"
Jack Nicholson, for "The Departed"
Best Supporting Actress - Jennifer Hudson, for "Dreamgirls"
Cate Blanchett, for "Notes on a Scandal"
Rinko Kikuchi, for "Babel"
Emily Blunt, for "The Devil Wears Prada"
Abigail Breslin, for "Little Miss Sunshine"
Best Original Screenplay - Peter Morgan, for "The Queen"
"Babel"
"Little Miss Sunshine"
"Letters From Iwo Jima"
"Pan's Labyrinth"
Best Adapted Screenplay - William Monahan, for "The Departed"
"Little Children"
"Thank You For Smoking"
"Children Of Men"
"Notes On A Scandal"
Best Foreign Film - "Pan's Labyrinth"
Best Animated Feature - "Cars"
"Happy Feet"
"Monster House"
Best Documentary Feature - "An Inconvenient Truth"
Best Cinematography - "Children of Men"
"The Departed"
"The Queen"
"Letters From Iwo Jima"
"Babel"
Best Film Editing - "The Departed"
"Babel"
"United 93"
"Children Of Men"
"Dreamgirls"
Best Original Song - "Listen", from "Dreamgirls"
Best Original Score - Gustavo Santaolalla, for "Babel"
Best Art Direction - "Dreamgirls"
Best Makeup - "The Queen"
Best Costume Design - "Dreamgirls"
Best Visual Effects - "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest"
Best Sound - "Dreamgirls"
So the big winners of the night look (predictably) to be "Dreamgirls" (5 wins), "The Departed" (5 wins), and "The Queen" (3 wins)

Some pretty good lists. Oviously some of the noms will be different, but I think overall it'll be pretty sccurate. So I see people are predicting Scorsese will win again, same as every year Maybe he actually will...

I think the only real LOCK at the Oscars this year is for Best Documentary Feature, An Inconvenient Truth. It's a LOCK to get nominated and win. Otherwise, I think it's possible there may be lots of surprises in store for us. For best picture nominations, I'd say The Departed, Little Miss Sunshine and Dreamgirls are sure things in that category for nods. I don't know about The Queen, she is probably a LOCK to win best actress, so United 93 or Babel may sneak in there.

Does anyone know when they will announce nominations?
doc·u·men·ta·ry (dŏk'yə-měn'tə-rē)
adj.
1. Presenting facts objectively without editorializing or inserting fictional matter, as in a book or film.
if "An Inconvenient Truth" doesn't win, it will be a crime.

I predict the studios who spend the most money in the next few weeks will get nominations for their respective films.
I loved Little Miss Sunshine, but I doubt it'll get a Best Picture nod - it'll probably represent with a Screenplay nod.

If anybody didn't know, I just read it on the official site, Jan 23rd they announce the nominees, Feb 25th is the ceremony.
Ugh, I just noticed that Ellen DeGeneres is hosting. I can't express enough how UNfunny she is. Where is Billy Crystal when you need him...

I'm sure there are those out there with more knowledge than myself, but didn't DiCaprio get dominated for best actor in Blood Diamond and best supporting actor for The Departed? If so, wouldn't those be the categroies he submited in for the Oscars?
