Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role
Forest Whitaker - The Last King Of Scotland

Almost no doubt about that one, clearly a winning performance over the others.



Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role
Djimon Hounsou - Blood Diamond

Could be someone else though, but this guy deserves it, Blood Diamonds are something most don't want to talk about, especially Americans, since it's a custom to buy Diamond Rings in engagement presents over there.



Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role
Helen Mirren - The Queen

Don't like the film, but my hunch says she'll win, everyone is so exited over this piece of crap.



Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role

I have no idea, but one of the Babel girls I'd guess!


Best Animated Feature Film of the Year
Happy Feet

Gotta be Happy Feet, so much hype around it, can't see it losing. But I haven't seen any of those animated films, since I never watch any animated cartoon films. Don't like 'em But Happy Feet is like I wrote, so god damn hyped, that my gut says it'll win.



Achievement in Art Direction
Dreamgirls

Hunch.


Achievement in Cinematography
The Illusionist

Either that or Children of Men.



Achievement in Costume Design
Dreamgirls

I'm almost 100% that Dreamgirls will win this one.



Achievement in Directing
The Departed

Amazing directing! Gotta win!



Best Documentary Feature
An Inconvenient Truth

Hopefully it will win, it deserves to win, really great documentary about a problem the American administration have been trying to shelter from the world for decades. If it doesn't win it's politics.



Best Documentary Short Subject
The Blood Of Yingzhou District
Recycled Life
Rehearsing A Dream
Two Hands

No idea.



Achievement in Film Editing
The Departed

Could be a bunch of them, but I think The Departed deserves this one as well, the editing is really great, and I've seen all except 1 of these.


Best Foreign Language Film of the Year
After the Wedding
Days of Glory (Indigènes)
The Lives Of Others
Pan's Labyrinth
Water

NO idea.


Achievement in Makeup
Click

I guess Apocalypto could win, given that Click isn't really seen as that great a movie, but it's hugely underrated, and without a doubt Adam Sandler's best performance and movie ever. Plus the Makeup is amazing!



Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures (Original Score)
Babel
The Good German
Notes On A Scandal
Pan's Labyrinth
The Queen

No idea, could be either, I guess Babel.


Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures (Original Song)
An Inconvenient Truth
Dreamgirls
Dreamgirls
CarsCars
Dreamgirls

Err, dreamgirls?



Best Motion Picture of the Year
The Departed

Hopefully... Hopefully!



Best Animated Short Film
The Danish PoetLifted
The Little Matchgirl
Maestro
No Time For Nuts

Care.



Best Live Action Short Film
Binta And The Great Idea (binta Y La Gran Idea)
Éramos Pocos (one Too Many)
Helmer & Son
The Saviour
West Bank Story

Care.



Achievement in Sound Editing
Apocalypto
Blood Diamond
Flags Of Our Fathers
Letters From Iwo Jima
Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Either Letters From Iwo Jima, or Flags Of Our Fathers. Could be Blood Diamond, definitely a underdog.



Achievement in Sound Mixing
Dreamgirls

100% no need to explain that



Achievement in Visual Effects
Superman Returns

Seems to have the best visual effects, amazing effects if you ask me.



Adapted Screenplay
Borat Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan
Children Of Men
The Departed

Oh ho, well, I'd like to see Children of Men win this, but I guess either Borat or Departed will walk away with it. I'll laugh loudly if Borat wins!




Original Screenplay
Babel

Heart says Babel, mind says The Queen (yuck).



To bad for you POOR people in Denmark who can't afford cable, no Oscar Night for you !
