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.

My Pick for this year Golden Globe
Critic Awards have been naming their picks for Acting Awards and Best Pictures and Golden Globe has already announced its rolls of nominees. I'm sure the Oscar Academy is also busy doing screening and other stuff in picking thier list of nominees. While the rest are busy with all its long processes of coming up with the winners, i also have my own list, and they are the following.
Best Picture Drama- Frost/Nixon - Its really my choice for Best Picture, coz i want to see more of Howard's Biographic Films. A Beautiful Mind and Cinderella Man were really my all time favorite movies and im sure this Fronst/Nixon would really add to my list. My runner-up would be the intriguing story of Slumdog Millionaire.
Best Picture Musical or Comedy - Mama Mia! - Its very relaxing with a very smooth choreography in dancing, with a very great actors like Meryl Streep and a surprising talent from Mr. James Bond, Pierce Brosnan.
Best Director - Ron Howards - Obviously, my pick, who is really my favorite director. Next to him is Steven Spielberg whose movie this year is not much an award-like.
Best Actor - Leonardo DiCaprio - I think this year is another year for Leonardo to win Best Actor for the film "Revolutionary Road" after winning the award with the movie "Aviator.
Best Actress - Anne Hathaway - This is really a surprise nod for Anne, from a teen star to a more matured role, i think she would make history like Reese Witherspoon did in 2006.
Best Animated Film - Kung Fu Panda - I'm sorry Wall-E, i like you very much, but I like Po more, and with all the outstanding casts, its really my this year's animated film favorite.
Best Supporting Actor - Heath Ledger - his outstanding performance in The Dark Knight is really unescapable. He was brilliant and really deserve the award.
Best Supportin Actress - Kate Winslet - By just reading the synopsis of this film, i can already imagine Kate portraying her role. If she would have been nominated Best Actress in this film, she could have been my pick for Best Actress.
So those are my picks, they might not all win in Golden Globe, but i'm sure they will make it in Oscar, atleat nominees.
Best Picture Drama- Frost/Nixon - Its really my choice for Best Picture, coz i want to see more of Howard's Biographic Films.
