Unfortunately I won't be able to watch these tonight, but here are my predix anyways:
BEST ENSEMBLE
Prediction: Milk
Runner-Up: Doubt (but don't be surprised if Slumdog wins just...because)
BEST ACTOR
Prediction: Sean Penn - Milk
Runner-Up: Frank Langella - Frost/Nixon (Rourke too...honestly I can see any of the three taking it)
BEST ACTRESS
Prediction: Meryl Streep - Doubt
Runner-Up: Kate Winslet - Revolutionary Road
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Prediction: Heath Ledger - The Dark Knight
Runner-Up: Josh Brolin - Milk (does it really matter?)
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Prediction: Kate Winslet - The Reader
Runner-Up: Penelope Cruz - Vicky Cristina Barcelona (maybe Viola Davis?)

I'm going to be unrealistic and go with my heart, rather than my head, that Slumdog goes home empty handed tonight. Apart from Boyle's superb direction, I really don't think the film deserves to be sweeping every awards show. If Slumdog wins Ensemble tonight, I will be sorely disappointed. Slumdog is NOT a film defined by its actors; the SAG shouldn't vote for it as such. However, it's definitely worthy of its nominations this season. That, however, is a completely different story. Anyway, here they are:
BEST ENSEMBLE
Prediction: Milk
Runner-Up: Doubt
BEST ACTOR
Prediction: Richard Jenkins, The Visitor
Runner-Up: Sean Penn, Milk
BEST ACTRESS
Prediction: Kate Winslet, Revolutionary Road
Runner-Up: Meryl Streep, Doubt
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Prediction: Heath Ledger, The Dark Knight
Runner-Up: Robert Downey Jr., Tropic Thunder
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Prediction: Viola Davis, Doubt
Runner-Up: Kate Winslet, The Reader

I would say Meryl's chances of taking home the Oscar improved after tonight's win, her absolutely stunned remarks, and her delightful comments about fellow actors.
I thought it was a well-paced first class show, except for one thing. What on earth were they thinking when they asked a non-entity like Katie Holmes to announce the Best Actor award? She has absolutely no resume that puts her in that class whatsoever. So she's Mrs. Tom Cruise and has sold her soul to the Scientologists.
Loved Sean Penn's speech, loved Laura Linney's dress, and even enjoyed Brad Pitt's playfulness. He is really looking good. I doubt the Oscars can top this, especially if 'Slumdog' wins BP. I thought that movie was very disappointing, particularly the ending. I don't understand its popularity with the critics and the other awards shows, but the Golden Globes shouldn't be indicative of anything when something foreign is involved.
