Oscar Picks

Okay, we've all heard the obvious ones: WallE for...everything and Heath Ledger for Best Actor, but have we seen anything else worthy of anything?

For my part, I know that Speed Racer was officially a box office bomb, but I wish it would at least get nominated for Special Effects and Art Direction. I LOVED the Racer home which admittedly, was one of the few actual sets for the film, but it was just really, really cool with choice of color and props. I also loved the Editing for Speed Racer as well.

Do you think Iron Man would get anything?

I really loved the Iron Man OST. It may get a nomination. I doubt the film itself will though, purely because it isn't the right genre. Even though The Dark Knight will probably be the film of the year in terms of box office, and audience satisfaction, the genre works against it. I would be very happy if it got nominated for something (besides Ledger's performance) though. I think Nolan deserves some props - he is an amazing director.

I think Iron Man has a good shot at the more technical awards, if nothing else (even if it deserves more). Maybe an effects nomination? I would like it if Prince Caspian got a nomination for score; some of the new themes and variations of the older themes were wonderful, I thought. I think that one also might have a chance at an effects nomination, and possibly make up and costumes. The Dark Knight will probably get technical nominations as well, in addition to whatever the Academy does about Ledger's performance.

Ah, that's true, WETA does rock!!
...and the Academy does understand that.
