Well, I haven't heard from Cate today, so I'm assuming she's still buried in odds research, calculating how to save her dignity. I dare her to beat me this year, though - cuz I have got the goods.
My Oscar predictions:
Sure Bets a.k.a. Get a sandwich or go to bed - these are in the bag.
Best picture - Brokeback Mountain
Best director - Ang Lee
Best actor - Phillip Seymour Howard
Best supporting actor - George Clooney
Best actress - Reese Witherspoon
Adapted screenplay - Brokeback Mountain
Original screenplay - Crash
Visual Effects - King Kong
The likely candidates a.k.a. Hollywood politics rarely lie
Best supporting actress - Rachel Weisz
Achievement in film editing - Crash
Best foreign language film - Paradise Now
Music score - Brokeback Mountain
Best guesses a.k.a. Where I tend to lose
Best animated film - Wallace & Gromit
Animated short - Jasper Morello
Documentary feature - March of the Penguins
Documentary short subject - God Sleeps in Rwanda
Live Action Short - Ausreisser (The Runaway)
Makeup - The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
Original Song - Travelin' Thru (this one could be my downfall - I've never gotten this category correct in 7 years of predictions)
Uhm...yeah...I guess a.k.a. Not even the Academy knows what these awards are about....
Art direction - Memoirs of a Geisha
Cinematography - Brokeback Mountain
Costume design - Memoirs of a Geisha

Philip Seymour HOFFMAN.
I got some bad advice from you about the Golden Globes, so I'm thinking Cate's gonna win.
Ha, ha. I'm an idiot. Leaving it, though, because now it lets me shake my head at myself and laugh.
BTW - it is not my fault (I repeat) that you misread my GG tip. I can't be held responsible for your lack of background/insider knowledge.
Just re-read the title. Apparently, I have been drinking. Guess that Diet Coke went straight to my head.
Be prepared to LOSE, chiquita banana.
Odds of winning are in Cate's favor.
and what's the bet again?
I'm torn between watching the "live" telecast tonight fully, or cutting halfway to see the 2-hour season premiere of Lost. TORN!
I love the template change, hun. was getting a bit sick of all the black. although...ahem...I must ask, what happened to all your OTHER cool links? *coughSyar'ssecondblogcough*
What the... Where am I?
I'm also enjoying the template change - sorry about the sidebar. It accidentally got erased and...well...I forget to save things. But there's a rumor that someone who, perhaps, was responsible for the birthday hijack may still have a copy.
