Predictions of the Winners for the 81st Academy Awards Thread

[DIRECTOR]

I'm curious, of all the movie goers here, who/what do you think will win each award for at the Oscars on the 22nd....

I made this poll, let's all vote. There is too many choices, max is 40 choices for polls on the forum. So, out of the 111 Nominations this year, I choice the hardest of hardest choices at the Oscars. Let's see who get them right at the 22nd.

I am allowed to see this poll?

 

[Kargo Warrior]

If anything supporting actress and best actor are less predictable than sound editing and mixing which will go to TDK as the movie that wins those awards is always the nominated big blockbuster...Matrix,Terminator,Bourne Ultimatum etc...and 95% of the time they go in double.

The same can be said for the Best original screenplay where Wall-E,Happy Go Lucky,In Bruges and Milk all have a chance of winning.

Will you be making polls for the other predictions? I'd love to vote in them!

Honestly, I think TDK has a chance at making a sweep in nearly all the technical categories.

guys, are you sure the The Duchess won't win Best Costume??

 

[Prison Mike]

I think it will win best costume design. I believe it won a BAFTA for it...

 

[DIRECTOR]

well, on the Poll, Curious Case got the most votes for best costume. Usually, at the Oscars, they always give the award to a period movie, especially The Duchess.
