Oscar Picks

I’m going to attempt some Oscar picks before tonight’s ceremony. I should note that I haven’t seen all the nominees. But I have seen a few programs highlighting performances, etc. And, of course, it means nothing.

Best Picture
The Aviator
(I really came close to selecting Million Dollar Baby, but I went for the spectacular Hollywood film.)

Director
Martin Scorsese
(Another tough one. Eastwood may very well win.)

Actress
Hillary Swank

Actor
Jaime Foxx
(A slam dunk)

Supporting Actress
Cate Blanchett
(Although Virginia Madsen looked really good in a clip I saw.)

Supporting Actor
Morgan Freeman

Original Screenplay
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Million Dollar Baby

Original Song
I don’t remember any of them!

The Incredibles

Those are my (sometimes reluctant) picks. We’ll see tonight how I did.
