Predictions

It's 5:08pm, the Oscar telecast begins in 22 minutes. Here's a quick rundown of my predictions.

Best Picture: THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON
Best Director: David Fincher, THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON
Best Actor: Frank Langella, FROST/NIXON
Best Actress: Kate Winslet, THE READER
Best Supporting Actor: Heath Ledger, THE DARK KNIGHT
Best Supporting Actress: Penelope Cruz, VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA

I don't see SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE winning Picture, but I could be wrong. BENJAMIN BUTTON has the epic sweep of ENGLISH PATIENT or FORREST GUMP, so I think the Academy will go for it. The under categories, Screenplay and the technical awards, are hard to predict this year. I think SLUMDOG could take Cinematography, Editing, possibly Best Original Screenplay. We'll see soon enough--
