With Persepolis on the slate, this might be a year that Pixar doesn't take Best Animated Feature.

Juno for Best Pic = I like. But it doesn't have a chance.

Nor should it, against NO COUNTRY and THERE WILL BE BLOOD. It's a great film, but it's not got anywhere near as much going on as those two.

Ladies and gentlemen, Academy Award nominated film Norbit!

Juno won't win Best Picture, but it'll win the Best Original Screenplay consolation prize and Ellen Page has a serious shot at Best Actress.

Pixar is only 2-for-4 in the category. Shrek beat Monsters, Inc. and Happy Feet beat Cars. (Finding Nemo and The Incredibles won in their years.)

I was pleasantly surprised to see all the love for Michael Clayton. I think that was my favorite film last year.

I was really surprised that Jason Reitman was nominated for Best Director, though. I thought that Joe Wright would get that fifth nod.

A lot of people are going to be pissed that neither Jonny Greenwood nor Eddie Vedder got any nominations. I thought one of the two was a shoe-in. At least one of the songs from Once got in there.

I'm glad to see "Falling Slowly" from Once nominated. It's such a great soundtrack and the particular scene where that song is performed is quite moving. Although going up against 3(!) songs from "Enchanted" may be tough.

Greenwood was ruled ineligible as the music was not composed specifically for the film.

I think there is a zero percent chance that Ratatouille doesn't win the best animated feature award. I'm a bit surprised that the Simpsons Movie didn't take the third slot, but then again, seeing the Simpsons snubbed for awards isn't exactly news.

Worst nominee? Ruby Dee, for her five minutes in American Gangster.

I'm a little surprised that Knightley didn't get a nom for Atonement because it seems like they want to make her the "next big star."

Love to see Ellen Page in there, but I can't see an Indie comedy winning an award that big (it's an "It's an honor to be nominated!" nomination). I'm guessing Cate Blanchet.

Hell no. Blanchett hasn't got a hope in Hell for ELIZABETH - it was terribly reviewed, and the only reaosn it made it onto the slate was because they didn't want to nominate Knightley. It's between Christie and Cotillard I think.

I actually think Ellen Page is the favourite. Julie Christie has won a number of critics' awards, but she won 40 years ago and isn't quite in 'exalted veteran' category. Marion Cotillard is both unknown and French, both of which work against her. Blanchett was in a crappy movie. Laura Linney got the 'happy to be here' nomination. All of this points to an honest-to-blog victory for Ellen Page. Pretty wild for a girl who I still remember as Lahey's daughter in Trailer Park Boys.

Page is up there with a chance, unlike Linney and Blacnhett. I'd peg Cotillard as the favourite - she's been redhot all year long, and the Academy love slinging the awar donto a lower-key European performance (Benigni in LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, Brody for THE PIANIST).

I'm really hoping Javier Bardem can pull out a win as he was just great. He didn't have a ton of dialog which might hurt him, but I don't know who else you could put in that role and get that kind of feeling from.

Except for maaaaybe Day-Lewis, Bardem's as close to a lock as you'll get this year. I can't see anyone else winning that category. Affleck's the only guy whose work matches up quality-wise, and the buzz for him is non-existent.

Daniel Day Lewis, Javier Bardem, and Cate Blanchett (Supporting) are pretty much mortal locks at this point. I'd say it's about 80% for Marion Cotillard.

Best Picture and Best Director are going to be the only really competitive races among the six major awards, in my opinion.
