It's terribly early, so it's hard to do this, but let's test our film industy knowledge. Lots of good nominees this year. We will pick only the major categories, unless people are interested in doing the animated shorts, animated feature, and the documentaries, too (for what it's worth, I think they are already foregone conclusions, but who knows?}).

Here are my early guesses

Best Picutre: LOTR, return of the King
Actor: Sean Penn [Possible Upset: Bill Murray}
Actress: Charlize Theron.
Supporting Actor: Djimon Hounsou. Maybe Tim Robbins
Supporting Actress: Renee Zellweger
Director: Clint Eastwood
Adapted Screenplay: Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens & Peter Jackson, LOTR
Original Screenplay: Finding Nemo
Cinematography: Cold Mountain

Narrative:
Industry is self-congratulatory for giving nominations to Lost in Translation [woman director, dynastic filmmaking] but refuses to reward it with anything. [Lost in Translation, while not the BEST film of last year, was my favorite film.] Zellweger gets the award some think she deserved last year, but for a weaker, scenery chewing performance. Sean Penn finally receives recognition for what he has long been: a great actor. For Mystic River alone he deserves to win, but he was amazing in 21 Grams, also (the academy found it too strange, but they expect that from del Toro). If he loses, it will be for two reasons--aversion to another "Michael Moore" incident and affection for Bill Murray. Charlize Theron is, quite simply, in an actorly class by herself.

That narrative is likely to change as we approach the awards themselves.

Did Eastwood win a Director Oscar for Unforgiven? If so, I may have to change my prediction.

OK, well I change my Director prediction to the LOTR guy. For some reason, I thought Clint had lost for Unforgiven.
