My Oscar Picks!

Okay here goes nothing - I entered an online competition today so figured I might as well post them here. I have thought alot about these and even so am probably miles out - but this is my list of Oscar Winners for 2007 ! eek

Best Screenplay Original

Little Miss Sunshine

Best Screenplay (Adapted)

Borat etc etc

Best Visual Effects

Superman Returns

Best Costume Design

Dreamgirls

Best Cinematography

Pan's Labyrinth

Best Animated Feature

Happy Feet

Actress in Supporting Role Well pretty obvious who my choice is (see previous posts) Jennifer Hudson - Dreamgirls

Actor in Supporting Role Dont ask me why - just figure this movie needs something and Alan Arkin is a darned fine actor and Eddie Murphy has got enough awards already this year
Alan Arkin - Little Miss Sunshine

Best Actress Probably the only definate for the night

Helen Mirren - The Queen

Best Actor Anything has to better than pretty boy DiCaprio, Ryan Gosling too young, Peter O'Toole too old, Will Smith - well just too Will Smith (he would be the only other serious contender I believe) - but for what it is worth my pick is
Forest Whitaker - The Last King of Scotland

Best Director Probably not his best work but will be given for the "body" of his work and his much overlooked previous films

Martin Scorsese - The Departed

Best Film hmmmm very tricky this year but I am going with US sentimentality and Clint
Letters from Iwo Jima
