The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Not seen any of these but this is one of the films top of my watchlist so will win by default when I see it)

David Fincher – The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Same)

Brad Pitt – The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Same)

 

Meryl Streep – Doubt (As usual, a fantastic performance, loved how snappy she was but she still had those doubts playing on her mind)

Philip Seymour Hoffman – Doubt (I can't say I've seen loads and loads from him but this is the first time I've been properly impressed by him)

Amy Adams – Doubt (Not one of her best performances but thought she was better than Viola Davis this year and they're the only two I've seen)

Picture: 'The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button'

Director: David Fincher

Actor: Mickey Rourke

Actress: Kate Winslet

Supporting Actor: Heath Ledger

Supporting Actress: Taraji. P. Henson

 

I'm surprised 'The Wrestler' wasn't up for "Best Picture"! Why was this shortlist so... short? :lol:

Milk for most of them, I picked Amy Adams for Doubt as it's one of her most outstanding performances but then I remembered Penelope won that, and it was actually well deserved. Vicky Christina Barcelona is brilliant.
I actually agree on most winners from that year, even though Kate Winslet should have been nominated and won in best leading and supporting that year (Revolutionary Road being the leading performance, obviously).

Milk

Gus Van San

Sean Penn

Anne Hathaway (Nearly went for Meryl, but I think this was more of a subtly powerful role compared to a full in your face one that Meryl gave)

Philip Seymour Hoffman

Amy Adams (in her top 3 best performances ever tbh)
