+ - Has the Edge
Best Picture
Received all prerequisites:
Babel (GGGG, PGA, SAG, DGA, WGA)
The Departed (GG, PGA, SAG, DGA, WGA)
Little Miss Sunshine (GG, PGA, SAG, DGA, WGA)
Only four of the prerequisites:
Dreamgirls (GGGG, PGA, SAG, DGA)
The Queen (GG, PGA, DGA, WGA)
Comes down to a dead heat between Babel and The Departed
Best Director
These four will get it:
Bill Condon – Dreamgirls *
Stephen Frears – The Queen GGGG*
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu – Babel GG*
Martin Scoresese – The Departed GG*
The remaining slot will go to either:
Jonathan Dayton, Valerie Faris – Little Miss Sunshine *
Clint Eastwood – Flags of Our Fathers GG
Clint Eastwood – Letters From Iwo Jima GG
Scorsese is likely to win given his past with this award, but could go to another depending on how the category firms up
Best Actor
These four will get the nod:
Leonardo DiCaprio – Blood Diamond GG*
Peter O’Toole – Venus GG*
Will Smith – Pursuit of Happiness GG*
Forest Whitaker – The Last King of Scotland GGGG* (Expect first time nominee Whitaker to win, although he should have won for 1988’s Bird for playing Jazz legend Charlie Parker)
The remaining slot will go to either:
Sasha Baron Cohen – Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan GGGG
Aaron Ekhart – Thank You For Smoking GG
Ryan Gosling – Half Nelson *
Christian Bale – The Prestige
Nicholas Cage – World Trade Center
Leonardo DiCaprio – The Departed
Best Actress
Here is how this category will firm up:
Penelope Cruz – Volver GG*
Judi Dench – Notes on a Scandal GG*
Helen Mirren – The Queen GGGG*
Meryl Streep – The Devil Wears Prada GGGG*
Kate Winslet – Little Children GG*
However unlikely, here are the likely alternates for Best Actress:
Annette Bening – Running With Scissors GG
Toni Collette – Little Miss Sunshine GG
Beyonce Knowles – Dreamgirls G
Renee Zellweger – Miss Potter GG
Ellen Page – Hard Candy
Keke Palmer – Akeela and the Bee
Best Supporting Actor
Leonardo DiCaprio – The Departed GG*
Eddie Murphy – Dreamgirls GGGG*
(One of these two will win this category)
Ben Affleck – Hollywoodland GG
Alan Arkin – Little Miss Sunshine *
Jackie Earle Haley – Little Children *
Djimon Honsou – Blood Diamond *
Jack Nicholson – The Departed GG
Brad Pitt – Babel GG
Mark Wahlberg – The Departed GG
Laurence Fishburne - Akeela and the Bee
Clive Owen – Inside Man
Michael Pena – World Trade Center
This is one category that is up for grabs. Eddie Murphy appears to be the only person certain to get a nomination. Only DiCaprio’s role in The Departed is a potential spoiler, though the above names are likely to fill out the category.
Best Supporting Actress
These four will get nominated:
Adriana Barraza – Babel GG*
Cate Blanchett – Notes on a Scandal GG*
Jennifer Hudson – Dreamgirls GGGG* (Most likely to Win)

Best Original Screenplay
Babel GG*
Little Miss Sunshine *
The Queen GG*
Stranger Than Fiction *
United 93 *
Akeela and the Bee
Brick
Inside Man
Notes on a Scandal GG
The first three are the most likely to get the nomination and one will ultimately get the win, the remaining slots are up for grabs.
Best Adapted Screenplay
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan *
The Departed GG*
The Devil Wears Prada *
Little Children GG*
Thank You For Smoking *
Alternates:
Flags of Our Fathers – Paul Haggis
The Prestige
I’m fairly certain that this is how this category will shape up, but I also like the alternates. Who wins will depend on how the other categories firm up, though Borat and The Departed are looking good |
