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.

Gran Torino
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.
