Prediction Update Time.

Ok so I have been thinking about the various categories and have decided who I want to predict now (I hope it is at least a month before I have to do this again).
I have been voting with my heart and have tried to drop that horrible habit, but as you can see "The Kite Runner" is still high so I may need to do more work on myself.
The fact that all the heavy films are not doing well gives me great pause as to how this race will turn out. I mean “Enchanted” is scoring massive with critics…could that shake up Best Picture???

Best Picture: I am still holding out hope the studio will get it together in regards to “The Kite Runner”. “Sweeney Todd enters the top five simply because I am so see this happening. The Academy may want a bit of escapism from all the downers this year. See the rest of them here

Best Actress: A tough one. Who to drop and who to keep in. Christie has dropped out of the top five against my heart telling me no. Instead Amy and Laura rise. Why do you say this Michael? Well because with all the world going to shit, and most of the movies reminding us of this, I am thinking the Academy will stick their collective heads in the sand and celebrate the comedies. No where are there stronger comedy performances than in Best Actress. Check ‘em out here

Best Actor: This pretty much remains the same, except Johnny Depp rises into the top five at the expense of John Cusack. And Frank Langella makes his first appearance in the top 10. Go Frank!!! See the rest of them here

Best Supporting Actress: Redgrave slips into the top five, while Swinton and MacDonald remain on shaky ground, barely holding on. They need to beat out veteran Ruby Dee, new kid Amy Ryan and running joke Tomei. They are all fighting here.

Best Supporting Actor: Well Hoffman and Rickman infiltrate the top five while Stahl and Finney plummet. Based entirely on Harry Knowles review, and the love he got last year, Sasha Baron Cohen makes the top ten. I can actually see this happening, but he will have to fight off Rickman.
