I don't think I've seen any of these, I'll see There will be Blood WELL before I see Transformers, however.

oh, and I'm glad Heath Ledger's not on any of these lists, that would be too coincidental me thinks..

out of all those movies I have only seen Transformers and Bourne Ultimatum and they are in the same category.

They need to have those movies in more categories so I can have more of an opinion.

Posted by Mitsutranza on Jan-23-2008 20:39:

This list will have to be edited as the Oscars come close coz there are about 32 major films I haven't seen (not including shorts) and by the time of the ceremonies (hoping they will happen) i'll be happy if i see half of those, the major ones that is.

For now this is how i think it's gonna be:

1. FILM: No Country For Old Men
2. ACTOR: Daniel-Day Lewis Blood
3. ACTRESS: Marion Cotillard La Vie(but I haven't seen ANY of these films so this might change)
4. SUPPORTING ACTOR: Javier Bardem No Country(might be a Tom Wilkinson upset)
5. SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Saoirse Ronan Atonement
6. DIRECTOR: Joel and Ethan Coen
7. FOREIGN FILM: (Haven't seen a single one, need to check out the goss on these)
8. ADAPTED SCREENPLAY: P.T. Anderson's There Will Be Blood
9. ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY: Tony Gilroy's Michael Clayton
10. ANIMATED FEATURE: Persepolis
11. ART DIRECTION: Sweeney Todd
12. CINEMATOGRAPHY: Deakins for No Country for Old Men
13. SOUND MIXING: Bourne Ultimatum
14. SOUND EDITING: No Country for Old Men
15. SCORE: Atonement
16. ORIGINAL SONG: have no idea, didn't hear any of the songs.
17. COSTUME: Elizabeth: Golden Age
18. DOCUMENTARY: I know it's NOT gonna be Sicko, didn't see the rest but i'll take a stab with Operation Homecoming
19. SHORT DOCUMENTARY: Sari's Mother i guess?
20. FILM EDITING: No Country for Old Men
21. MAKE-UP: La Vie en Rose
22. ANIMATED SHORT: Peter and the Wolf i guess?
23. LIVE ACTION SHORT FILM: Tanghi Argentini i suppose?
24. VISUAL EFFECTS: Transformers

=========================
Your lists are interesting: Marcus i see you give Transformers 3/3 hmm and congo you think Blanchett will walk away with BOTH oscars? Very interesting.
