Oscar's Predictions

Here are my predictions for tonight. Many of them are based on random guess, hunch or "should win" feeling rather than buzz. For the first 6 categories, the most important ones, I especially decided to go against "buzz" in maybe 2-3 categories. Here are my predictions:

Best Picture: The Departed
Best Director: Martin Scorsese (The Departed)
Best Actor: Peter O' Toole (Venus)
Best Actress: Helen Mirren (The Queen)
Best Supporting Actor: Mark Wahlberg (The Departed)
Best Supporting Actress: Jennifer Hudson (Dreamgirls)

Best Adapted Screenplay: Children of Men (or Borat)
Best Original Screenplay: Babel

Best Editing: Babel
Best Music: Babel
Best Art Direction: Pan's Labyrinth
Best Cinematography: Children of Men
Best Costume Design: Curse of the Golden Flower
Best Makeup: Apocalypto
Best Visual Effects: Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest

Best Documentary: An Inconvenient Truth
Best Animated Film: Happy Feet
Best Foreign Film: Pan's Labyrinth

Random Guesses:
Best Sound Editing: Blood Diamond
Best Sound Mixing: Blood Diamond
Best Documentary Short: The Blood of Yingzhou District
Best Animated Short Film: The Little Matchgirl
Best Live Action Short film: West Bank Story

... meanwhile expect to see my personal awards in a few hours. It's almost done. I am still deciding on whether to see Dreamgirls or not.
