Alright, so I'm gonna follow the trend and list every movie that I watch this year. Here we go.

WHOA. Okay, it's been a long time since I posted last, but basically all of this award fever has me all caught up! Here's what I'm betting on:

My prediction is... A REVOLUTIONARY ROAD SWEEP! Yeah, I've thought long and hard, and I think that it's got a good chance of taking out all the big ones.

Best Picture (Drama): REVOLUTIONARY ROAD! Yeah, I hope this movie cleans up. I'm probably biased. Benjamin Button has a strong chance I think, but I'd love to

Best Actor (Drama): Leo! Well, the film hasn't come out yet, but from the clips that I've seen he looks really good (both physically and in terms of his acting), and I really think it's about time he did a sweep of all the big awards, don't you? So deserving, hope he gets it. If he doesn't get it, my second bet is on Mickey Rourke, because from what I'm hearing the Wrestler is pretty damn good. If Brad Pitt gets it instead of Leo, I might actually start crying.

Best actress (Drama): This, for me, is a face off between two fantastic actresses - Kate Winslet and Meryl Streep. I really, really, really want Kate to get it because I'm so sick of her losing! Seriously, like Leo, she deserves a sweep. That being said, Meryl looks great in Doubt, and so it's really in the air with this one. I was suprised that Anne Hathaway got nominated... the trailer shows a little bit too much over-acting for my liking, but oh well.

Best Picture (Comedy/Musical): Jesus.. I have no idea with this one. In Bruges was funny as hell, Mamma Mia was pretty huge, but then again I think that Vicky Christina Barcelona has a good shot too. I didn't see Burn After Reading but now I kinda wish I had... so yeah, not sure about this.

Best Actor (Comedy/Musical): Give it to Javier, purely on his sexiness. Lol. I think it's between Javier and the boys from In Bruges, but again, I'm not too sure.

Best Actress (Comedy/Musical): Meryl Streep. I don't think she's got much competition. I would love to see Rebecca Hall pick it up for Vicky Christina Barcelona, but c'mon, Meryl's gotta win something.

Best Supporting Actor: HEATH LEDGER. THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. HIS PERFORMANCE WAS INCREDIBLE, AND I CAN'T THINK OF HOW ANYBODY COULD TOP THAT. I would have liked to see Brandon Walters (is that his name?) from Australia, because I thought that he was fantastic too... but oh well. Lol at Tom Cruise, by the way.

Best Supporting Actress: I think that Amy Adams looks really good in Doubt, or Marisa Tomei for The Wrestler, but of course, Kate Winslet is my second favorite actress (behind Marion, who owns my soul) so I hope she gets it. I just want her to get one of the two that she's nominated for, alright? Lol. WHY WASN'T CATE BLANCHETT NOMINATED??!!??!!

Best Director: Sam Mendes. He's got the midas touch when it comes to making films, so give it to him for God's sake.

And the other categories? Well, I don't know about them. Who knew Clint Eastwood was musical though...?

I went to see twilight this past week, and it was alright. Robert Pattinson is gorgeous, but it wasn't the best movie I've ever seen. Eh. The attractiveness of the cast was enough to sustain my interest.. so I'll probably keep iconing them.

Found some good pictures over the past week from different events and whatnot and I figured I should share. Under the cut:

( The Reader premiere, Kate + Leo and some Marion.. plus more... )

OH, and did you hear the news? HUGH JACKMAN IS HOSTING THE OSCARS!

I almost wet myself when i saw this.
