All I want is for Hugh Jackman to knock it out of the park as a host–so he can return next year.

Other than that:

1) If Ledger loses, I will expect a lot of hissy fits. ( “Graverobbers!!!”) But I really don’t want to hear them for three weeks. I’m actually thinking Brolin will walk away with it as well.

2) If “Milk” loses Best Picture, I will expect a lot f hissy fits ( “The HATE!!!” ) like there was when Brokeback lost not too long ago. I, too think ‘Slumdog’ will win. It’s been the heads on darling for the past month.

3) I do want Marisa Tomei to win. Not just because I always liked her, it’s just because …well, I’ve always liked her. Other than that, if her name is called, there dieth that Urban Legend of her and her ’92 Vinny win once and for all.

4) To echo my dear Kristine, I expect Sean Penn to Win; but it would be great if Rourke won. I would love to hear both acceptance speeches. Penn might give a shout out to those who protested the prop eight passing; Rourke will give another shout out to his dog.

5) The In Memorium…I expect clips of/from Sydney Pollack , Anthony Minghella, (*both of who produced ‘The Reader”-the only reason its nom’d for Best Picture) Bernie Mac, George Carlin, Newman, Heston, Stan Winston…and a shout out to Don LaFontaine.

You can always root for the category of “Best Original Screenplay” Ezell. That pretty much takes care of at least one nomination for In Bruges.

Downey was great in Tropic Thunder. He was great all last year in fact (also in Charlie Bennett, and, of course, Iron Man)

Monty, that might not be a bad thing…

I think Josh Brolin did a great job as well. I think if the movie had gotten more attention, he would have been nominated, but it seems like a forgotten movie this year.

Just watched “W.” and was surprised that Brolin didn’t get a nomination. The voice, the mannerisms… he really nailed it, I thought.

John,

Will we also get video of these podcasts? It would be cool – particularly to see the immortal Chuck Norris!:)

I agree with you John about Ledger – I think it’s pretty clear he’ll win but I don’t think it’s a lock. I mean you’re right there were some fantastic performances this year, particularly in the supporting actor catagory. I mean I know he only had a couple of scenes but, man, was Michael Shannon phenominal in Revolutionary Road. I still would give it to Ledger at the end of the day but if Shannon had had more than just two scenes I’d have to seriously rethink that one…

Video or not I look forward to the show – although it would be awesome if we had both:)

I’m actually supporting Benjamin Button, but most likely Slumdog Millionare will win.

Slumdog will probably win
