And Still I Rise

Best Motion Picture Of The Year:
The Aviator
Finding Neverland
Million Dollar Baby
Ray
Sideways

Interesting lineup here.Black films don't get much justice so probably Million Dollar baby or Aviator will win.


Performance By An Actor In A Leading Role:
Don Cheadle - Hotel Rwanda
Johnny Depp - Finding Neverland
Leonardo DiCaprio - The Aviator
Clint Eastwood - Million Dollar Baby
Jamie Foxx - Ray

Good to see two black men nominated here.I would like either of them to win but I got a feeling Dicaprio will get it.All these biographical movies remind me of when Denzel was robbed for Malcolm x and Hurricane.

Performance By An Actor In A Supporting Role:
Alan Alda - The Aviator
Thomas Haden Church - Sideways
Jamie Foxx - Collateral
Morgan Freeman - Million Dollar Baby
Clive Owen - Closer

Want Morgan Freeman to win so bad.Thomas Haden Church I think will win though.

Performance By An Actress In A Leading Role:
Annette Bening - Being Julia
Catalina Sandino Moreno - Maria Full Of Grace
Imelda Staunton - Vera Drake
Hilary Swank - Million Dollar Baby
Kate Winslet - Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind

Hilary Swank is my pick

Performance By An Actress In A Supporting Role:
Cate Blanchett - The Aviator
Laura Linney - Kinsey
Virginia Madsen - Sideways
Sophie Okonedo - Hotel Rwanda
Natalie Portman - Closer

Probably Natalie Portman or Virginia Madsen

Achievement In Directing:
Martin Scorsese - The Aviator
Clint Eastwood - Million Dollar Baby
Taylor Hackford - Ray
Alexander Payne - Sideways
Mike Leigh - Vera Drake

Scorcese,I think
