Hmm...I agree with you on a lot of them. Though, I've got Best Supporting Actress as Jennifer Hudson and Best Supporting Actor as Eddie Murphy.

I want any film BUT Babel to win. I didn't like it at all. I actually walked out of it, and I rarely walk out of films.

Yeah, it was brutal but the ending made up for it. With the exception of one or two characters, it actually had a happy ending...amazingly.

I figure Alan Arkin will win because he's never won an Oscar before and he's old and they like to do that. I think Paul Dano deserved a nomination more from LMS than Arkin did, but oh well...

Hee. Didn't make it that far. It was just so comfortable to watch, with kids getting shot and then the Japanese girl, I couldn't handle it. My friend stayed in the theatre and she told me how it ended. :)

<i>I think Paul Dano deserved a nomination</i>
Is that the son? If it was, he was really good.

Yep, Dano played the son and he should have been nominated.
