**EXTREMELY MINOR SPOILERS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVEN'T SEEN THE DARK KNIGHT YET, AKA, NOBODY**
Heath Ledger deserves an Oscar solely for the scene where he walks away from the burning hospital in the nurse's gown. His stature, his face, his whole attitude, appearance, mannerisms, subtlety...wow. It'll take a lot for someone else to surpass him this year.
With 6 months of movies yet to be seen, especially those contending during Oscar season, I doubt very much Chris Nolan will make the top 5. Still hoping on a nomination for Ledger; as for winning, it's still a long road ahead and wishful thinking on our part.
Im a little dissapointed with your predictions guys. i hold your oppinion very high up and to see you include Woody Allen in best director and Che for any awards at all is horrendous. Also where is Michael Sheen for Frost/Nixon ? Come on, you got to keep your A game up, and star updating the blog more frequently, come on... your better than that
I hate to sound defensive here, but I don't see anything wrong with our predictions. How is putting Woody Allen as a potential nominee "horrendous"? Vicky Cristina Barcelona was a hit at Cannes... Also, as of today, Michael Sheen is no more likely than John Malkovich or Philip Seymour Hoffman.
And to be fair to my colleagues, with 6 months to go before the formal announcement of the nominations and films we haven't heard of yet, it is obvious our predictions will change as time goes. I see it as fun to compare them, so we'll see.
