Foreign Language FilmThe Nominees:
As It Is In Heaven
The Chorus
Downfall
The Sea Inside
Yesterday
What will happen?
It's a sad day for foreign films when not a single title has any kind of accent marking. Going solely on title alone, I'm choosing The Sea Inside because it obviously has something to offer. We know all about the sea outside, so the sea inside is obviously fertile ground for a movie.
Make-UpThe Nominees:
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
The Passion of the Christ
The Sea Inside
What will happen?
An even more pathetic showing than the Foreign Language Film category, it appears that they could only scrounge up three nominees this year. I'm going to choose LSaSoUE for this one, but not because it's deserving. There's probably nothing innovative in the make-up of The Passion that hasn't already been seen in a Wes Craven movie, and I doubt the sea looks any different with a little Mary Kay mixed in.
Music (Score)The Nominees:
Finding Neverland
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Lemony Snicket's a Series of Unfortunate Events
The Passion of the Christ
The Village
What will happen?
John Williams has already fully milked the motive he stole from the computer game, Return to Zork so an Oscar is not in his cards this year. Instead, The Village will win and Chris Rock will accidentally give away the secret twist from the end of the movie.
Music (Song)The Nominees:
- "Accidentally In Love" - Shrek 2
"Al Otro Lado Del R?o" - The Motorcycle Diaries
"Believe" - The Polar Express
"Learn To Be Lonely" - The Phantom of the Opera
"Look To Your Path (Vois Sur Ton Chemin)" - The Chorus
What will happen?
Here, I'm picking Al Otro Lado Del Rio, which is German for "Get Fat Lady Off My Bike", because the supporting actress is now a regular on Alias.
Best PictureThe Nominees:
The Aviator
Finding Neverland
Million Dollar Baby
Ray
Sideways
What will happen?
This is a very strange batch of Best Picture movies. The Aviator will win because it's the most recognizable.
Short Film (Animated)The Nominees:
Birthday Boy
Gopher Broke
Guard Dog
Lorenzo
Ryan
What will happen?
Hollywood needs to hire a new title-man. If the movies are as drab as their titles, then there will be no winner in this category. Gopher Broke barely gets chuckle points, beating out Birthday Boy, Guard Dog, and Meter Maid, as well as Lorenzo, Ryan, and Chuckie.
