The One and only Oscar Thread! Predictions/Thoughts?
Well I just got done filling out my Oscar predictions at www.oscar.com and thought I'd start a thread on it.

Its the big night...whats gonna happen?


I'm predicting RotK will take a few:

Best picture
Best director

Pulling for Watanabe in the Supporting Actor category...and Charlize Theron in Best Actress.


Opinions?

Wanntambe is an extreme long shot imo. Robbins for supporting actor. I do know one thing, if Charlize loses best actress, Ebert will denounce the acadamy. (he was quoted by saying that Charlize has one of the greatest screen performances of all time)

I've read that on Theron and couldn't agree more with him. I saw Monster and while I wasn't in awe of the film itself, I was mesmerized by Theron's performance.

I studied serial killers during my undergrad degree and knew a bit about Wournos before I saw this.

I'd agree on Wantanabe being a longshot...but here's hoping for the longshots

The locks are def.:

LOTR: Best picture
Peter Jackson: Director
Charlize: Actress
Renee: Supp. actress
Robbins: Supp. actor
Finding Nemo: Animation
Sophia: Original Screenplay

It's close for Actor between penn and murray, but my money is that Murray will take it. Over all he has won more awards then penn on the road to Oscar.

I was going to jump into the Oscar.com fun, but the registration was too daunting, they practically wanted my SSN. So I'll just post my predictions here.

Best Picture: LOTR:ROTK

Best Director: Peter Jackson

Best Actor: Sean Penn

Best Actress: Charlize Theron

Best Supporting Actor: Tim Robbins

Best Supporting Actress: Shohreh Aghdashloo

Best Screenplay (adapted): LOTR:ROTK

Best Screenplay (original): Lost in Translation

Most of these are just based who has heat, since the only major contenders I have seen are ROTK and LiT, and PotC of course. But the academy is more about clout and popularity than talent and achievement, so it doesn't really matter.

Robbins deserved it. He's always been underrated as an actor.

Very nice speech without political crap.

I was hoping for Watanabe, but oh well. At least Robbins kept it short.
