I predict that Slumdog Millionaire will win all of the categories that it's nominated for. It's that great and that much better than the rest.

The Dark Knight will win best picture not nominated. It is a shame the Gran Torrino or Clint Eastwood didn't get a nomination. Gran Torrino was hands down the best picture of 2008.

I pretty much agree with you darkangel but if Heath Ledger dosent win an oscar it would be a hugh let down to me at least

I agree with you on Heath not winning would be a complete let down. Gran Torino was awesome. This year the best picture is tough. For once I saw a lot of great movies for a change.

Me too.. I believe Heath's dad will be there to accept it. So that should be emotional for him..

[Blu Angel]

Im betting Sean Penn will win best actor though.

[STARSCREAM]

I predict slumdog and benjamin button will win virtually every single category.
