Here are mine:

Ps - Follow this link to see who's nominated:

http://www.oscar.com/nominees/nomineelist.html

Okay, heres who I think will win...for the ones I have a clue on...

Best Actor - I think Jude Law will win though I'd like to see either Bill Murray or Johnny Depp win.

Best Actress - Charlize Theron wil likely win, though I'm rooting for Diane Keaton.

Supporting Actor - I have no idea.

Supporting Actress - Marcia Gay Harden...just a feeling.

ANimated film - GOtta be finding Nemo

Best picture - I don't know, but I think Lost in Translation will get it. I just don't see the others listed as real contenders. Don't get me wrong, LOTR is great, as are the others, but LIT seems like its just obscure enough to get it. You know, an Oscar-ish kinda movie, if you've seen it.
 
Just the major ones. this is without having seen any of the movies, except for POTC.

Actor: Sean Penn

I know my DD15 hopes that Renee Zellweger gets the Best Supporting Actress award. We just back from her seeing "Cold Mountain" three times and me seeing it twice. She is great in that role.
 
Predictions:

Lord of the Rings for Best Picture, with Peter Jackson as Best Director. I'd rather prefer Lost In Translation, but the two movies are soooo different you really can't compare. They're both awesome in their own ways.

Best Actor: I think it will be either Sean Penn or Bill Murray; I'm hoping for the latter.

Best Actress: Charlize Theron

Animated Film: Finding Nemo

Original Screenplay: Lost In Translation

Can't predict what the others will be. Looking forward to the telecast on 2/29, I can tell ya!

Who I would like to see win.....

Actress- no choice, didn't see any of the movies
Actor, Supporting- Ken Watanabe
Actress, Supporting- Renee Zellweger
 
Well, I haven't seen all the nominees (those I have I'll put in bold), but here are my picks for the main categories --

ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE -- I'd love to see Johnny Depp win this one, but it'll probably be Bill Murray.

ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE -- since [restrained rant]Sean Astin was passed over for a nomination for his outstanding role in LOTR[/restrained rant], I pick Ken Watanabe. He was great in The Last Samurai and definitely deserves the prize.

ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE -- haven't seen any of the nominees. I'll pick either Diane Keaton or Charlize Theron

ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE -- same here. Shohreh Aghdashloo or Holly Hunter.

DIRECTOR -- Peter Jackson kept the quality high and consistent through all three LOTR movies. It's a well earned nomination and a well deserved Oscar. If not him, then possibly Sofia Coppola for Lost in Translation.

PICTURE -- LOTR: Return of the King (hey, after my restrained rant, should this be any surprise? ;) ).
 
I sure hope LOTR-ROTK gets everything it is nominated for. I don't know if Johnny Depp will get it, but that would be so cool.
 
Actor in a Lead Role- Bill Murray (even though I'd rather see Johnny Depp win)

Actress in a Lead Role-Charlize Theron

Actor in a Supporting Role-Tim Robbins (I'm furious that they didn't nominate Sean Astin)

Actress in a Supporting Role-Marcia Gay Harden

Animated Feature Film-Finding Nemo (no other even comes close)

Art Direction-The Lord of the Rings

Cinematography-Seabiscuit

Costume Design-The Lord of the Rings

Directing-The Lord of the Rings

Documentary Feature-?

Film Editing-Seabiscuit

Makeup-The Lord of the Rings

Music (Score)-The Lord of the Rings

Music (Song)-"You Will Be My Ain True Love" - COLD MOUNTAIN (I love Sting)

Best Picture-The Lord of the Rings (fingers crossed!)

Sound-The Lord of the Rings

Sound Editing-The Lord of the Rings

Visual Effects-The Lord of the Rings

Writing (Adapted Screenplay)-Mystic River

Writing (Original Screenplay)-Lost in Translation
 
Wait a minute...

I did not see The Last Samurai, but that name, Ken wantanabi, rings a bell...isn't he the guy who is on "I Love the Eighties Strikes Back" who lists the nerds of each year? That would mean he was also the exchange student in Sixteen Candles.

Am I thinking of the right guy?
 
(I'm furious that they didn't nominate Sean Astin)


ME TOO!!!
