what are y'all's picks and predictions?

[Trauma-san]

I won't try and predict, I'll just pick who I think should win.  

Best Film:  Gangs Of new York.  Out of the few nominated, I enjoyed this one the most.  Very interesting, I saw The Pianist and it was too long, I saw Lord of the Rings, and although good, not as good as gangs of new york.

Best Actor: Daniel Day Lewis - Gangs of New York.  This guy was perfect in this role.  I really really wanna give it to Jack for About Schmidt, but Daniel Day's was just amazing.

Best actress: I don't like any of these performances, and I dunno if I've seen any of these movies.  Can't call.  

Best Supporting Actor: Christopher Walken: Catch Me If You Can.  He did great.  Like Usual.

Best Supporting Actress: Katherine Bates, About Schmidt.  She was even nude in the movie, LOL.  

Best Director: Scorscese - Gangs of New York

Haven't Seen any of the Foriegn films listed, sadly.

Best Animated : treasure Planet.  I liked it the best out of the others.

Best Original Screenplay: Nia Vardalos ("My Big Fat Greek Wedding") - This was very well written, and funny.  Good movie.

Best Adapted Screenplay: Peter Hedges, Chris Weitz & Paul Weitz ("About a Boy") - It probably won't win, but I thought this was an awesome movie.  

Best Art Direction - Road to Perdition - I don't know why, but I think it was just very well done, it had a mood to it.  Lord of the Rings close second.

Best Cinematography - Gangs of new york.  It was crazy.

Best Editing - honestly I can't remember enough to tell, LOL.

Best Costumes - Gangs of New York

Best Make Up - Don't know, isn't important

Best Visual Effects- Star Wars Episode II - Of course.  Nobody does effects better thanLight & Magic, which Lucas owns.

Best Sound - I would imagine Chicago is a shoe in, since it's a musical.

Best Sound Editing - again, don't remember the editing that much

Best Music Score - Catch Me If You Can - John Williams.  'Nuff Said.

Best Song - Father & Daughter by Paul Simon.  This song is great.  Eminem's Lose Yourself a close second.
