I'd love for it to win cinematography, especially after experiencing it on IMAX. Heath Ledger winning Best Supporting Actor is all that really matters, though. It's a shame the Academy didn't nominate the movie for it's writing, direction, and Best Picture.

Viola Davis is going to get the Oscar. Best Supporting Actress usually goes to an actress that played a small part of the film 10 minutes max and makes that time work for her.

I believe Cruz will win it but wouldn't it be great if Taraji P. Henson won it for Benjamin Button? No? Well, that's just because you don't stand to win about $1000 if she does.

Last year, though, had to be one of the best lineups ever, IMO. The win that would make me happiest is Rourke taking it home in lead actor. I will be extremely disappointed, on the other hand, if Streep steals the lead actress statuette. No disrespect to her, as I think she's a wonderful actress, but all four of the other women are more deserving this year.

His potrayal of Ernesto Guevara is much better than all of the nomenies Del Toro deserves the oscar. I am not convinced with the best actor category Benicio del Toro had to be in there.

I see Wall-E winning at least 2 and upwards of 5. I think TDK will take some awards from Button in the categories wherein they are head to head.

Last year "The Bourne Ultimatum" won Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, and Editing, despite being up against Ratatouille for the sound categories and the BP favorite for editing. I think the same might happen again this year. I'm wondering if TDK might take more awards than you're predicting, as the Academy's way of "making up" for it not being nominated for Best Picture.
