I don’t want to get too hardcore with the predictions right now because many movies have yet to come out, as well as possibly undiscovered (referencing the pop up success of “The Reader” last year). So I can’t say that this first prediction will not be completely biased (because it will). I’m sure I’ll get some of them right.
Please note that this is based on research that I did myself of Oscar contenders for this year. And before you yell at me for not including “Shutter Island” in any of the predictions, know that its release date has been moved to some time in March 2010 (thus kicking it out of 2009 Oscar contenders). The best picture category will alse have 10 nominations this year (which is ridiculous if you ask me). There is a possibility that a few films snuck by me while doing the research. anyway, enough babbling, here’s what looks good.
1 more thing, I’m not going to cover all the categories, but I will cover some of the less popular categories. ok, here it is
BEST ACTOR
Matt Damon (THE INFORMANT)
Brad Pitt (INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS)
Heath Ledger (THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS)
Morgan Freeman (INVICTUS)
George Clooney (UP IN THE AIR)
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Philip Seymour Hoffman (THE BOAT THAT ROCKED)
Johnny Depp (THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS)
Christoph Waltz (INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS)
Mark Wahlberg (THE LOVELY BONES)
Sean Penn (THE TREE OF LIFE)
BEST ACTRESS
Hilary Swank (AMELIA)
Penelope Cruz (BROKEN EMBRACES)
Amy Adams (JULIE & JULIA)
Saoirse Ronan (THE LOVELY BONES)
Gabourey Sidbe (PRECIOUS)
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Meryl Streep (JULIE & JULIA)
Rachel Weisz (THE LOVELY BONES)
Mo’Nique (PRECIOUS)
Ellen Page (WHIP IT!)
Kirsten Dunst (ALL GOOD THINGS)
BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY
AMELIA
INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS
CREATION
THE LOVELY BONES
BEST DIRECTOR
Peter Jackson (THE LOVELY BONES)
Quentin Tarantino (INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS)
Clint Eastwood (INVICTUS)
Joel & Ethan Coen (A SERIOUS MAN)
Jason Reitman (UP IN THE AIR)
BEST PICTURE
“THE LOVELY BONES”
“AMELIA”
“INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS”
“CREATION”
“THE HURT LOCKER”
“JULIE & JULIA”
“PRECIOUS”
“INVICTUS”
“UP IN THE AIR”
“AN EDUCATION”
I’m not going to make a winner prediction for everything, because I just don’t know how everything is right now (except for Inglourious Basterds). However, it does seem like “The Lovely Bones” will be scooping up the awards this year (and probably best picture too (although there have been surprises in the past, so who knows))
there it is, protest all you like
