If Scorcese doesn't get it this year, he should just give up.

My Predictions for the only awards that matter:

Best Picture: The Departed
Best Director: Scorcese
Best Actor: Forrest Whittaker
Best Supporting Actor: Eddie Murphy *shudder*
Best Actress: Helen Mirren
Best Supporting Actress: Cate Blanchett

And I am pretty sure these will be 100% correct.

I'd agree with CoE's guesses except switch out Cate Blanchett with Jennifer Hudson.

I wonder why Wahlberg got the nom over Nicholson. That one is a bit of a head scratcher.

I was originally gonna use Hudson, but her performance was more of a singing one than an acting one. Dreamgirls will already win an award, which will make the Academy feel less guilty about skipping over Hudson.

Babel, on the other hand, will not win Best Picture, which means it needs SOME award. Hence, Blanchett.

The only thing is that Blanchett won a couple of years ago for The Aviator. I suppose they may give it to her again, but I'm not sure. The only "supporting actress" I really hear about is Hudson, apparently she did a great job and plus the fact that Dreamgirls didn't even get nominated for best picture makes me think that the Academy will make up for that with wins for Murphy and Hudson.

Mirren is probably the biggest lock out of every nominee.

I kind of did the same thing you're talking about last year with my picks. I picked Jake Gyllenhaal for Best Supporting Actor because I overestimated how much The Academy would feel guilty for not giving Brokeback Best Picture. Perhaps I'm compensating for that mistake, but I'm feeling pretty good about Blanchett.
