Oscar 2009 Pick

I had my own pick in this year's Golden Globe Winners and i was able to predict Kate Winslet and Health Ledger wins, i hope this time i would be able to predict all major awards for this year's Oscar. Its just a prediction anyway, who knows the Oscar will come across my blog and consider my side hehe..

Slumdog Millionaire - my Best Picture for this year's OSCAR, aside from almost swiping all the Best Picture awards in different award giving bodies, it is also doing well in the box office.

Ron Howard - Slumdog will win the Best Picture, but Ron Howard would still take home the award for Best Director for the Film Frost/Nixon.

Kate Winslet - although she is not nominated for the movie Revolutionary Road, its ok, coz it would be her acting in The Reader that would really give her the first ever Oscar.

Mickey Rourke - Its never too late for actors to have Oscar trophy, while Sean Penn has one already, this time it would definitely go to Mickey Rourke.

Amy Adams - after seeing her in the many movies along with Big Stars lately, i could say Amy is really one of them and i think this time she would win her first Oscar too.

Robert Downey Jr. - his acting in Tropic Thunder is really awesome, although Heath Ledger did well in the Dark Knight, i think others deserve the win, and besides he could benefit no more from it. That is why Robert will win for this year's OSCAR for supporting role.

WALL-E - after watching this cute animated film again and again and could have been nominated for Best Picture, I could really say this would win for sure as Best Animated Film this year.
