Seeing as the big night isn't too far away now, I figured I'd put up some of my predictions but also who I'm hoping will win even if they probably won't!
Leading Actor: Mickey Rourke - The Wrestler
Everyone who's anyone knows Mickey is going to pick up the award this year! Admittedly, It's a toss up between him and Sean Penn (who gives an equally good performance in "Milk") but Rourke's performance is an incredible sight to behold.
Supporting Actor: Heath Leger - The Dark Knight
In an equally likely to win category, it seems that Leger's infamous death will likely win him his oscar. However, it is definately a deserved award as Heath's scene stealing performance is one that will be remembered for a long, long time. In a role that will unlikely be filled for an equally long time.
Leading Actress: Will win = Kate Winslet - The Reader
Want to win = Anne Hathaway - Rachel Getting Married
Kate has been clearing up at the award ceremonies recently and is likely to win again here; for an over-rated performance I might add! "Rachel Getting Married" is a great movie; with an equally great cast (surprising non of them have been nominated in the other catogeries). It's an incredibly honest performance by Hathaway who has had some awful roles in the past (The Princess Diaries etc) but has recently shown exactly what she can do; watch out for her in the future.
Supporting Actress: Penelope Cruz - Vicky Christina Barcelona
I love Penelope Cruz, she is an amazing actress who was surprisingly left out of the 2002 nominations for "Vanilla Sky" (a personal favourite of mine). A return to form from Woody Allen in a very sweet and funny comedy!
Directing & Best Picture & Adapted Screenplay & Cinematogrephy: Slumdog Millionaire

Origional Screenplay: In Bruges
Two hit men run away to Bruge because of a bad hit invoving children and a preist! How could this not be a shoe in?
