December 13, 200816 yr If theres any justice in the world at all, i would say Danny Boyle to win Best Director. Seriously the directing in this movie is just amazing. One of the, if not, the best film directed by him.
December 13, 200816 yr Hopefully Wall-E wins! :cheer: Heath will probably be the odds on fave to get Best Supporting Actor, but I won't be surprised if it's not him TBH! :( I think we could all be in for a shock!
December 13, 200816 yr Author I still think Ledger will win Best Supporting Actor... even at the Oscars too. I've not seen a better performance this year than his... for once the Oscar panelists should not give a damn about not giving it to Heath Ledger just because The Dark Knight was a huge blockbuster...
December 14, 200816 yr Milk was obviously snubbed. Gah. Idiots. Sean Penn will win best actor if there is any justice.
