See those giant, plastic-wrapped Oscars up there? It's just two more days till they'll be on display for everyone to see during the 2008 Oscars! All month, I've been breaking down the Best Picture nominees, posting trailers for Best Documentary and Best Foreign Language Film nominees, checking out the art direction and costume nominees, and generally getting pumped up for Sunday's show.
A big part of my preparation has been careful consideration of my official Oscar picks. If you still need help filling out your Oscar ballot, or you're just curious to see how I think the Academy will vote, just read more.

Marion Cotillard is so deserving of the Best Actress Award; I hope you're right on that one and on "Falling Slowly." My picks for Director and Supporting Actress are different, but on the rest, we agree. Looking forward to Sunday night.
1I don't know how Julian Schnabel will fare for Best Director, but I loved that you picked him! I haven't seen "Diving Bell" yet, but I really liked "Basquiat," and it would be cool that the Academy awarded him for his directing talents.
2I would really like Juno to get more, but I suspect you're right. Good predictions generally
3damn that was like exact holy, you're never in a betting pool with me
