* Best Supporting Actress: Mo'nique "Precious"

* Best Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz "Inglorious Basterds"

* Best Actress: Meryl Streep "Julie and Julia" OR Sandra Bullock "The Blind Side"

* Best Actor: Jeff Bridges "Crazy Heart"

* Best Director: Katherine Bigelow "The Hurt Locker"

* Best Picture: "Avatar"

good performances! wonder if they'll win.

Trey, your predictions match pretty much what I have read for the past few weeks. I think that's exactly how it's going to go.

My own wishlist though:

- Best picture: Avatar

- Director: Cameron for 'Avatar'

- Actor: Collin Firth in 'A Single Man' (I simply can't stand Jeff Bridges, but this one will be his win)

- Actress: Carey Mulligan in 'An Education' (a hopeless wish, but I did not like 'Julie & Julia' and while I really like
"Sandy" I found 'The Blind Side' rather pedestrian and too geared to middle-America PC/BS)

- Supporting Actor: Christopher Waltz in 'Inglourious Basterds' (I guess they just needed to nominate people; the others don't come near his amazing performance)

- Supporting Actress: Mo'Nique in 'Precious' (another category where they just nominated people simply to fill the required five slots)

- Foreign Film: France's 'Un Prophete' (Germany's 'The White Ribbon' will probably take this one though --its director has deserved an award for quite a while, and voters love the film's theme).

And that's that.

Carey Mulligan deserves that statue so much...but she won't win it.

Sandra Bullock is a talentless hack. She has all the range of a surfboard. She should be beaten to death with a shovel.

C'mon Matty, she's "America's Sweetheart" (load of crap).

You're right Mr Moon. Allow me to revise my post. She should be beaten to death with Ryan Seacrest.

sounds good, let's throw the talentless Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner (or whatever his name is) in the mix and make it a massive beating

Sandra's now a local for us in Austin. We love her and her three-legged little dog, too!

I haven't seen any of the nominees except for Avatar. I have Julie and Julia on DVD, but we haven't had a chance to watch it yet.

Up just won for best animated feature. I just realized I saw 3 other nominated pictures, Up, Coraline and The Fantastic Mr. Fox.

How dare you besmirch talentless hacks and surfboards so egregiously???

mecch · « **Reply #12 on:** March 07, 2010, 09:35:11 pm »

Sandra is good in some movies. She's hardly talentless!!!
Taylor Swift's album was awfully cute and well-written. She's not just a product.

The fact that you cannot name those movies suggests otherwise.

Speed, Miss Congeniality, Murder by Numbers, Crash.
Movies like The Proposal are very comforting on airplanes. She is a very comforting as a performer. I think she has talent and is very likeable. You are a sourpuss!

Mecch, you forgot 'Practical Magic'.

Miss Congeniality? Feh!

I would have thought all those Toblerones and piles of Nazi gold would be comfort enough.

Hellraiser · « **Reply #20 on:** March 07, 2010, 10:09:35 pm »

I'm 2 for 2 so far. Those were the two easy ones though.

Also, I liked Sandra in "Practical Magic" although Nicole Kidman can make me hate anything.

mecch · « **Reply #21 on:** March 07, 2010, 10:24:09 pm »

I liked Nicole well enough when she was young and fresh.

I love the post-Cruise Kidman (particularly in 'The Others' and 'The Portrait of a Lady') even though she is so stretched and botoxed nowadays that she can barely express any emotion.

I liked Moulin Rouge...but I would've preferred another actress in the role.

I run hot and cold with Our Nic. I liked her in The Hours and, when I was 8, BMX Bandits.

OMG, I can't believe you remember her Judy in 'Bandits'.

One movie where she was (perhaps ironically) bad was 'Australia'.

Bandits was HUEG here. Total school hols treat.

I didn't see Australia because it was made by Baz. And he manufactures prescription strength shite. You wanna see a proper film about Australia in Stately Days of Yore, check out The Proposition.

I hope Johnny Depp bags an Oscar soon. He almost had it from Pirates but lost to Sean Penn's performance in Mystic River.

I'm in the office so I'll have to settle for the replay later.

Animated Feature Film goes UP! Yey!

I like her in 'To Die For'with Matt Dillon, and then also 'Fur" .

AlanBama · « **Reply #31 on:** March 10, 2010, 03:34:51 pm »

Some of the 10 films nominated for best picture were hardly oscar worthy, in my opinion....

I haven't seen Precious yet, but it's out on DVD now, so I hope to see it this week.

Julie & Julia was very cute...I like Amy Adams. Sandra Bulloch: I can take or leave.

I have not seen Avatar yet; in truth, I just haven't had any desire to see it. The previews I've seen look kinda silly. I thought District 9 was great!

The Oscars were pretty predictable this year, albeit for The Hurt Locker, which I enjoyed immensely.

Hugs, Alan

I finally watched Precious last night (hooray for HD on demand!) and I thought it was fairly amazing, and indeed the acting in it was marvelous. Oddly when I watched it I'd totally forgot about the HIV angle, so when it happened way into the movie it slightly surprised me.

AlanBama · « **Reply #35 on:** March 16, 2010, 12:14:24 pm »

I saw it also; thought all the acting was great, even Mariah Carey!
