I really hope Robert Downey Jr wins Best Supporting Actor ... he was so fucking good in Tropic Thunder, hahaha.
I fucking lose it just thinking about his one facial expression when he's talking to Jay Baruchel in the jungle after Alpo goes to sleep, fuck. I can't remember what they were talking about ... but I almost puked from laughing so hard.

Ok, since no one else is saying it I'll say it: SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE is way overrated. Its just a well done Bollywood film. But Best Picture the entire year? No way.

The Wrestler
Vicki Christina Barcelona (actually one of my favs of 2008)
Burn After Reading
Slumdog Millionaire (winner - this award always goes to the best picture that should have won Best Picture that year, but the Academy is too chicken shit to vote on independents- i.e. Sideways in '05, Lil Miss Sunshine in '06, Juno in '07, etc.)Best Adapted Screenplay:
Frost/Nixon (winner)
The Dark Knight (Nolan should win, but Peter Morgan has been passed up far too many times and he's bout due)
Revolutionary RoadBest Animated Feature:
Wall EBest Foreign Film:
MongolBest Documentary Feature:
Man On WireBest Cinematography:
One of Roger Deakins' films (surprisingly has yet to win): The Reader, Doubt, Revolutionary Road (all Rudin films)Best Score:
Revolutionary Road (Tom Newman- also did WALL E & American Beauty among many others)*I think Dark Knight may rack up the most awards (overall total) with the smaller awards- i.e. effects, music editing, music composition, sound, technical editing, etc.
