BenSavage 0 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Ellen Page FTW!!!Actually she has no chance, but I fell in love with Juno.Any of the ladies has a chance this year, but the odds are for Julie Christie or Marion Cotillard to take it. Performance by an actor in a leading roleGeorge Clooney in "Michael Clayton" (Warner Bros.)ImpossiblePerformance by an actor in a supporting rolePhilip Seymour Hoffman in "Charlie Wilson's War" (Universal)Almost equally impossiblePerformance by an actress in a supporting roleSaoirse Ronan in "Atonement" (Focus Features)The only lady that doesn't have a chance in that category.Best motion picture of the year"Atonement" (Focus Features) A Working Title Production: Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner and Paul Webster, ProducersFor a movie with no precursor awards to snag the Oscar it must have strong momentum coming in. (See Crash and Shakespeare in Love stealing from the worthier Brokeback and Saving Private Ryan)Achievement in music written for motion pictures (Original song)"Raise It Up" from "August Rush" (Warner Bros.): Music and Lyric by Jamal Joseph, Charles Mack and Tevin Thomas This better go to "Falling Slowly" from Once. Achievement in directing"There Will Be Blood" (Paramount Vantage and Miramax), Paul Thomas Andersonthere it is.I could live with that.Stick with the poker, you are good at that.
