Best Picture:

Martin Scorsese for THE AVIATOR (Miramax)

Taylor Hackford for RAY (Universal Pictures)

[beyond the sea]

I don't want to break my perfect Oscar viewer record, so I won't be watching again this year.

Then Chris Rock may presume that you are straight.

;-)

[JimRed]

WHO CARES?

[cynicom]

Idiots will win or lose, more idiots will watch.

[JimRed]

I should have read past the headline before responding, I could have just "dittoed" #3!

[BBell]

Wasn't he that guy they arrested in Pakistan for being a terrorist?

[Shqipo]

Dianne Keaton will dress like a man and Angelina Jolie will show the best cleavage.

[jackbill]

I predict that the TV audience for the Oscars will be the smallest in years.

[lillybet]

who would want to watch these bunch of back slappers, There sincerity is overwhelming.

[McGavin999]

My prediction? Nobody will care. Hollywood is over.

[F.J. Mitchell]

When it comes to the Oscar awards,
for those goofy Hollywood retards,
those pampered,pompous over paid hams-
frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!

[philetus]

To make oscar predictions, I would need to have seen the movies, which I have not.

[Edit35]

I predict that 90-percent of America will not give a flying leap about the Oscars, and will not watch, due in part to the choice by lib power-mongers to install the foul-mouthed Chris Rock as MC of the event.

After all, for those who care about what Hollywood offers in 2005, who wants to think that Rock represents the best of our entertainment personalities.

The movie industry used to represent classy elegance so uniquely American that the rest of the world used to perk up and notice.

Thanks to choices like Rock, the Oscars now represent a spoiled, smarter-than-thou class of leftists who are intent on boosting the "prestige" of terrorist type loonies at the expense of American security.

If rational actors in Hollywood were smart, they would launch a real Oscar ceremony, one which focuses on movie and acting greatness and leaves behind all the Bush-hating, conservative bashing rhetoric which has not become ingrained in the wacky Beverly Hills crowds.

I predict the Oscars will eventually be held in France where people might actually watch the show.

[fish hawk]

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!

[Professional Engineer]

My predictions?

1. Study eyelids for light leakage.

2. Snore.

[L.A.Justice]

There was an interesting scene in SIDEWAYS...A "white trash"(?) couple was having sex. The TV was on in the living room...It showed Bush and Rumsfeld at a press conference. (Paul Giamatti character had to get something in that house...for his friend.)

Nevertheless, I still liked SIDEWAYS. Acting was good.

MILLION DOLLAR BABY...Michael Medved had a very low opinion of that film. I had a higher regard for that film than Medved. I liked the story about the bonding between Eastwood character and Hilary Swank character...But, I had a real problem with how the film ended...

FINDING NEVERLAND...It was a good movie. Good acting...But, I was not as impressed as some of the movie critics.

THE AVIATOR and RAY...They were very good...But, they dragged on and on at times.

[Richard Kimball]

I don't really care, but I think Million Dollar Baby will win. They're desperate to make it a hit.

[Central Scrutiniser]

The IFC awards are much better, not a political butt kissing contest or a ceremony to give someone an award because they never got one, even if in an inferior movie.

Anyways, I loved Sideways, and enjoyed The Aviator, and just caught Being Julia, fun little soap opera, Annette was great in it.

[buffyt]

Sideways and Ray are both excellent. We saw them recently. I would vote for Sideways to win it all except best actor. Can we have a tie? Jamie Fox and Paul Giamati and Johnny Depp????? and Clint!
