And the Oscar goes to...

Oscar nominations were announced this morning. Here I go...Brokeback Mountain walks away with eight nominations and finally Jake Gyllenhaal was nominate for Best Supporting Actor and the newlyweds Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams were both nominated. I think Brokeback Mountain is going to win for Best Picture or at least I really hope it does, I think all around it had the best collaborative performance and direction. I was surprised that Woody Allen wasn't nominated for Best Director for Match Point but he was nominated for screenplay so I'm happy about that because it really was a good movie. I think Best Actor will go to either Philip Seymour Hoffman for Capote or Heath Ledger. Joaquin Phoenix was unbelievable as Johnny Cash but his performance wasn't the same. The two big contenders for Best Actress are Felicity Huffman and Reese Witherspoon. I think this is a really tough category. Both actresses won Golden Globes for their performances but since the categories were more seperated they're both on equal playing fields. Rachel Weisz is looking really good for Constant Gardner but I must say that I'm extremely happy that Amy Adams was nominated for Junebug, her performance was great and a real career starter. Ang Lee is I believe most likely to walk away with the Best Director but after seeing Munich last night I think that Steven Spielberg should also win it. For Best Screenplay I'm really at a loss. That's all I have today, lots of predictions. Check back soon!
