The Oscars - Best Picture

[Prudence]

Dammit! hit post too soon. (Boris is trying to help with the predictions.)

Best animated feature of the year:
Wallace & Grommit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Corpse Bride is too much like NBC and Howl's Moving Castle is too Japanese.

Achievement in art direction:
Good Night and Good Luck or Memoirs of a Geisha. I'm going with Good Night and Good Luck.

Achievement in cinematography:
This one goes to Memoirs of a Geisha.

Achievement in costume design:
I have no flippin' clue, but I'm picking Mrs. Henderson Presents.

Achievement in directing:
Ang Lee for Brokeback Mountain. *IF* best picture goes to Brokeback, this will go to Clooney.

Best documentary feature:
March of the Penguins.

Best documentary short subject:
uh? I have no idea what these are about. I'll pick God Sleeps in Rwanda.

Achievement in film editing:
Crash gets a token award.

Best foreign language film of the year:
The only one I've heard of is Paradise Now, and there's no way in hell that will win. I'll go with Tsotsi.

Achievement in makeup:
Narnia.

Achievement in music written for motion pictures (Original score):
Brokeback Mountain.

Achievement in music written for motion pictures (Original song):
The Academy goes "edgy" with "It's hard out here for a pimp."

Best motion picture of the year:
Capote.

Best animated short film:
One Man Band. (Since Pixar doesn't have a feature this year.)

Best live action short film:
Random guess: The Last Farm.

Achievement in sound editing:
King Kong.

Achievement in sound mixing:
Walk the Line.

Achievement in visual effects:
The Chronicles of Narnia.

Adapted screenplay:
Might go to Brokeback Mountain.

Original screenplay:
I think it will be Good Night and Good Luck, but there's an outside chance it could go to Crash.
