Ok, no Diving Bell ... and I haven't seen the majority of Best Supporting Actress noms. Nonetheless ... Ladies and Gentlemen, the Zlick Picks:

Best Actor: George Clooney in Michael Clayton (Zlick's Acadamy prediction: Daniel Day Lewis)

Best Supporting Actor: Tom Wilkinson in Michael Clayton (the actual Oscar will go to Javier Bardem)

Best Actress: Marion Cotillard in La Vie en Rose (with the Academy following suit)

Best Supporting Actress: Tilda Swinton in Michael Clayton (with the Academy once again agreeing on me on la femme talent)

Best Animated Film: Ratatouille (with an Oscar for sure)

Best Art Direction: Sweeney Todd (and the Academy once again agrees with Steve)

Best Cinematography: No Country for Old Men (and I believe the Oscar-winner will be The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford)

Best Costume Design: Elizabeth, the Golden Age (and I think the Academy will likewise be swayed by the spendlor of gaudy)

Best Director: Joel Coen and Ethan Coen for No Country For Old Men (and I feel the Academy will be breaking out the second Oscar when they concur)

Best Documentary Feature: Sicko (and Michael Moore will once again wow with his acceptance speech)

Best Documentary Short - no selection (I haven't seen any of them)

Best Editing: No Country for Old Men (though I think the Academy will be swayed by the flashier work in The Bourne Ultimatum)

Best Foreign Language Film - no selection (I haven't seen any of them - but I will say that The Orphanage was robbed!)

Best Makeup: La Vie en Rose (with the Oscar going to Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End)

Best Musical Score - Ratatouille (with the Oscar dancing to the beat of the same drummer)

Best Original Song - Happy Working Song from Enchanted (with the Oscar going to "That's How You Know," also from Enchanted)

Best Animated Short Film: A Zlick Oscar Upset: NONE (but the inevitable Oscar going to Even Pidgeons Go to Heaven)

Best Live Action Short Film: Tanghi Argentini (and the Academy must agree)

Best Sound Editing: There Will Be Blood (with the Oscar going to No Country For Old Men)

Best Sound Mixing: The Bourne Ultimatum (and the Academy agrees)

Best Visual Effects: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (and the Oscar indeed goes to Pirates 3)

Best Adapted Screenplay: There Will Be Blood (with the Academy choosing No Country For Old Men)

Best Original Screenplay: Michael Clayton (and the Academy concurs)

and finally:

Best Picture of the Year: Michael Clayton (and the Oscar goes to: No County For Old Men)


Stay Tuned tomorrow night, to see how well I've been right!
