So, who's gonna win? I'd guess Daniel Day Lewis as best actor. He's the only foreigner in his category and, on past record, they tend to give it to the odd man out so against those four Americans the foreigner is gonna win. Plus, it's his fourth nomination and the Academy is easily impressed by his style of committed acting.

Best actress has to be the wonderful Julie Christie. It's her fourth nomination (she last won in 1965 for Darling!) and you're not gonna hear anyone say a bad word about her. She's not a Hollywood type but she's still super popular and admired. You always hear how no one writes good leading roles for women over a certain age. Well, Sarah Polley did so the Academy is not going to be able to resist this rarely seen sixty-six year old at her best.

As for supporting actors, Javier Bardem or Tom Wilkinson are the two foreigners so I reckon it'll be one of them, probably Bardem. For supporting actress I reckon that Cate Blanchett's got the best chance. She hits several different buttons: she's foreign; she's also nominated for best actress so a supporting actress win would be consolation if she doesn't get that; she's a previous winner; she plays a man, none other than Bob Dylan! She's a terrific actress whatever she's in.

I reckon that best director ought to go to Joel Coen and Ethan Coen. Hell, it's about time these two won it. Oh, and best picture should also be No Country for Old Men. Check back next week and see how wrong I am!
