Was anyone else COMPLETELY not expecting a Tommy Lee Jones lead actor nod for ELAH? It was an outside possibility for me... I was more surprised by Blanchett getting a nom for ELIZABETH: THE GOLDEN AGE.

I haven't seen INTO THE WILD, was Holbrook an expected nominee? He was the only one of those that surprised me in the least, not that much though, I suppose.

The Supporting Actor race went exactly as I had predicted.....Holbrook, Bardem, Wilkinson, Affleck, and Hoffman. When I get the full nominations list, I'll handicap each category and give you the winners. But for BS Actor.....Bardem will win.

I mean, DDL HAS to win for TWBB. One of the best performances I've ever seen.

Well....that was interesting. The biggest surprise easily is SIMPSONS MOVIE getting snubbed. Before they announce the winner for best animation picture, matt groening should walk on stage and just take the oscar and make a speech about how he's finally won ala owen hart in the 'slammys'. Day-Lewis and Bardem are locks to win their category. I don't see how they will lose it. Ben Foster was snubbed for his role in "3:10 to Yuma', he was insanely awesome. He better watch out though, he needs to branch out and do something else because for the last 4 years he's been playing the same psycho role. Hell, last year on "My name is earl' he played it again. I fear for him getting type-casted. He in my opinion is the new Sean Penn. Hey rra, what the hell happened to Collin Farrell? I remember for a good 5 year Span he was everywhere, hell pacino called him 'the best actor of his generation', though I would take that with a grain of salt because it came from pacino now who in my opinion is a shell of himself, had it come from pacino 20 years ago it would mean more.

Forster was on my personal ballot, though the other nominees are well deserving. Someone always gets the shaft... Bardem is a LOCK to win BS Actor, and Lewis probably for Actor. I say "Probably" because he was supposed to win for GANGS OF NEW YORK, and instead he got in a deadlock with Nicholson, which allowed Adrien Brody to win. But otherwise, yeah I agree that DDL will win Best Actor. Most of these categories, save for some of the technicals*, you can already tell who will win. What happened to Collin Farrell? Rehab. Though in retrospect, Pacino's successor aint him. I like Farrell, but in watching DONNIE BRASCO again the other day, its in retrospect a true "passing of the torch" from Pacino to Depp. Hell, Depp is like Pacino was for many years.....regular Oscar nods, but no wins. *=Notice that 300 got slaughtered?

The biggest thing that pissed me off was how 300 was shafted in nearly EVERY technical category. When I saw it early last year, I just sat there thinking "if this movie gets snubbed on the technical awards at the Oscars, it'll prove that it is a sham of an awards show." And we come full circle, and I have not seen a SINGLE movie that made the cut off date have better technical skill than 300, and what happens? It got snubbed.
Oscars are a sham.
I mean come on, it introduced the blue-screen filming method, a method that I need to mention is quickly being looked at as the future of filming. It is MUCH cheaper than on location shooting, and yet it still looks like on location filming after all the editing.

Well, lets start handicapping these races....one at a time.
BEST VISUAL FX
"The Golden Compass" "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" "Transformers"
Well, GOLDEN COMPASS got lost in theatres so it won't win.
The problem with PIRATES is that it won the same prize last year, and many will argue that its the same effects again*. Of course, that never did stop LOTR....
But as the box-office champ over the summer, TRANSFORMERS will win...and with 300 snubbed, TF's win is guaranteed.

Hell, TRON got screwed back in the day because many AMPAS folks seriously thought Disney using "CGI" for the FX was cheating. I think 300's problem was that voters didn't see the VFX as true VFX. Don't ask me, because it makes no sense to me either.
