Had to go out for a while. This is all in fun. So here are my predictions. Best Movie: Slumdog Millionaire. It also won the Golden Globe, Bafta( nominated so far) and SAG awards so very likely to win Best Director:Danny Boyle. Best Actress:Meryl Streep Best Actor:It's a toss up between Mickey Rourke and Sean Penn. Best Supporting Actor:No idea. Best Supporting Actress: Kate Winslet. Taraji P Henson. Best Music Direction:A R Rahman(Slumdog Millionaire)

So pleasing when an actor speaks her mind. Read this in the Indy: Winslet's wins are a red rag to Kristin
One member of the British film establishment who did not join in the general euphoria over Kate Winslet's double Golden Globe win is Kristin Scott Thomas.
Pandora overheard the statuesque actress criticising the decision to honour the 33-year-old Winslet as both best actress (for Revolutionary Road) and best supporting actress (in The Reader.)
"I just didn't get Kate Winslet as supporting actress at all," complained Scott Thomas, 48.
"I thought the whole thing was rather odd really – it seemed to be incredibly unfair to the other actresses because [Winslet's role] just wasn't a supporting role.
"I don't really think they should have allowed it."
Both stars are up for best actress gongs at this weekend's Bafta Awards. Winslet is the odds-on favourite after receiving two nominations in one category, while Scott Thomas is nominated only for her role in the French film I've Loved You So Long.
It looks like there could be an awkward run-in on the red carpet.P.S: Kate won the Bafta.

I don't think I can predict winners when I haven't seen every nominated film. So far I have only seen "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and I still don't know what to make of it. I'd like to see "The Reader" but haven't been able to arrange it. Friends have told me it's very good.

It doesn't really matter if you've not seen all the nominated films. Nor have I. Because the best performances are not necessarily the ones that go home with the gongs. It all depends on the current political and cultural mood in the air. And who's lobbying whom and that sort of thing. I started the Oscar thread just as a lark and to have a good laugh. You just pick the winner who you think stands the best chance from the 5 names nominated. Just like multiple choice. ;D

I don't think I can predict winners when I haven't seen every nominated film. That's why I didn't predict because I haven't seen any of the performances. Actually, that's a lie. I have seen Dark Night and Wall -E. Kate Twinset has always left me cold ever since Titanic (pun intended ). I never believed the pairing of her and Leo Di Caprio. He looked 12 and she looked like his mother. It's clouded my opinion ever since. She must be a good actress because she wins so much but her name above a title never inspires me to go out of my way to watch the work. I must be losing touch with all things Hollywood because I didn't recognise half the people on the red carpet. There was a time I knew most but not any more.
