I hope they don't diddle Jamie Foxx out of the best actor win by giving him the supporting actor Oscar.

I'm almost sure FOxx will win and I agree with Rslover that Giomatti deserved a nomination. I think Jim Carrey did for Eternal Sunshine, too. In fact, I think that deserved to be nominated for best film. I really think Imelda Staunton deserves to win for Vera Drake, but I'll be hoping for Annette Benning to win since Staunton doesn't have a prayer [oh and Mike Leigh deserves to win for director for the same film, too, but he won't]. In fact, I'd also love to see the woman from Maria Full of Grace win best actress, too--but only after Staunton. She was amazing and her film wasn't even eligible for Best Foreign Film.

I'm torn. I loved Jamie Foxx in Ray, but I heard absolutely marvelous things about Cheadle in Hotel Rwanda. I haven't seen it myself because I'm afraid that it will rip my heart out. And on a lighter note, I know Shrek 2 will probably win, but I enjoyed Incredibles more.

Right now, I'm saying Jamie Foxx, Jamie Foxx, Jamie Foxx. BUT, I haven't seen Hotel Rwanda yet, but I'm going to see it on Thursday.

I'm with Grandma -- I'll be jumping up and down if Leo wins. I'm not counting on it but I'm hoping for it. And this SHOULD be Scorcese's year, but I have a feeling Clint will win.

Peter Jackson overtook Eastwood last year for "Return of the King" over "Mystic River." I hope they don't go back a year. Scorsese is reallllly overdue. Poor guy is the Susan Lucci of directors.

Yes, Martin Scorsese has definitely been snubbed by the Academy for years (could it be his eyebrows? . I hope he wins. Surprised that Maria, Full of Grace didn't make it in the Foreign category. I hope Paul Giamatti gets the SAG award. It's a shame he wasn't at least nominated, since Sideways and and his co-stars were.

Maria Full of Grace doesn't qualify in the foreign category because of the silly requirements they have for the category. It's the same reason Hate [La Haine] wasn't nominated about 8 years ago: the Academy is silly about its requirements for foreign films.

Because the writer/director is American?

cant believe touching the void didnt get nominated for documentary - it was on alot of overall top 10 lists - should have gotten a nomination!!!!! cant wait to see million Dollar Baby and hotel rwanda - its playing right across from my office in DC so i really should see it soon, plus my director stayed in the same hotel when he worked in Rwanda for 3 years for the UN. i already am hoping hillary swank wins her second oscar and though i actually like the actors in sideways - i do not want it to win awards, unless virginia wins best supporting actress since she was good in it - i just dont see how people can call it one of the best movies of the year- it had humorous moments but it was not funny at all and just had a bad message (if any message at all) - and there are better ways to learn about wine than seeing that movie

Legalboxer, some friends and I are going to see Hotel Rwanda on Thursday after work at the Silver Spring AFI Silver Theatre if you'd like to join us.

Ha! I didn't realize an American directed Maria Full of Grace. How funny. Yeah so I guess it really isn't a foreign film. Many countries have ONE film they nominate for consideration and, in many instances, they choose the least interesting film available. In the case of La Haine, French cultural officials didn't like it because it had too much Verlan French and it was loaded with obscene French rap music. Other countries insist on crews entirely from their country, etc. There are just Byzantine rules for foreign language film. It's so silly. LB, if you see Vera Drake, I'd be willing to bet you'd change your mind about Ms. Swank's admittedly admirable performance.

I think Jamie Foxx will win in the best Actor category, even though a strong case could be made for Don Cheadle. I am strongly rooting for Hilary Swank to win in the female category. Million Dollar Baby is the one movie that I truely want to see. Every once a while a movie will come along that I want to see so badly that I can taste it. This is one of those. So I am rooting for it in every category. I am not a Scorcese fan and don't care if he ever wins one, but because I know how the Academy works, I am sure he will eventually and when he does, it will be for his "body" of work...which I think is wrong. Because when that happens, someone more deserving that year loses out.

Mary - even if you're not a fan of his "mob" movies, how could you not love "Age of Innocence"?

I think that all the winners should say "thank you Mel Gibson" as part of their speeches

KL, I agree. I am also very disappointed that Phantom of the Opera did not get any top nominations.
