My 2009 Oscar Predictions

Ohh, the Academy Awards are SO predictable.
These are the film I think are strong candidates to be on the Best Picture category:

Revolutionary Road
The Reader
Synecdoche, New York
Milk
The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button
Doubt
The Edge of Love

For best actor I think: Leonardo Di Caprio, Ralph Fiennes, Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, Philip Saymour Hoffman, Benicio Del Toro.

For best supporting actor: Heath Ledger (and he also WILL WIN, have no doubt about it), and maybe Cillian Murphy.

For best actress I think: Keira Knightley, Kate Winslet, Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Judi Dench (whatever she's doing hahaa, she seems to be quite a frequent nominee!)

For best supporting actress: Kathy Bates, Tilda Swinton, Julia Ormond, Amy Adams.

For best director: Sam Mendes, Gus Van Sant, Clint Eastwood, David Fincher, John Maybury.

For best screenplay: Christopher Hampton, Charlie Kaufman, HOPEFULLY Sharman Macdonald :)

And have no doubt that Sex and the City will win Best Costume Design and Coco Avant Chanel will win best foreign movie.

And maybe I'm antcipating too much, but for 2010 Academy Awards you can count in: Public Enemies, Nine, King Lear, The Friday Night Knitting Club, Julie and Julia, Dali and I, Al Pacino, Johnny Depp, Marion Cotillard, Meryl Streep, Keira Knightley, Anthony Hopkins, Gwyneth Paltrow, Daniel Day Lewis, Judi Dench, Penelope Cruz, Julia Roberts, etc.
