My lists are in my personal order. The party I wish to win is listed on top, and my least favorite is on the bottom. Items in italics are from films I have yet to see and therefore cannot comment on.

My choice from all the films I have watched, not just from the nominees, tops the list in bold italics.

DiCaprio should win the Oscar for 'Best Leading Actor'? His performance was surely great and he would really deserve the award. But do you think he has got any chance against Jamie Foxx?
Actually, I see just one possibility for DiCaprio to win. If Foxx wins as 'Best Supporting Actor', I don't think they will give him two Oscars at one ceremony, therefore...

I think Foxx has it in the bag. I am not the world's greatest DiCaprio fan, but boy, he sure delivered the goods in that film!

Shalom, y'all!

I found it surprising and (now) unfair too that Giamatti didn't get a nod for his great performance in Sideways.

Oh and what about your predictions?

I may gander a few guesses as we get close to the big night.

Shalom, y'all!

You, I, and the rest of the world. How did he get passed over? Did somebody smear lamb's blood on his door post?

A shame.

Shalom, y'all!
