The Skinny!  So many ways to go this year with Hollywood's favorite subjects: Pro-homosexuality, anti-Catholicism, Nixon, and Nazis. Man, it's a cornucopia!
Sup Actress:  I think the two Doubt actresses cancel each other out. Plus a Woody Allen flick is always a good springboard for supporting actress. CORRECT!
Sup Actor:  I really wanted to go with Michael Shannon (the crazy guy in Revolutionary Road), but the Academy honors its dead in an uninteresting movie. CORRECT!
Actress:  Angelina Jolie deserves it for her fantastic performance in Changeling, but Winslet was really good in two movies, so the nod goes to her. CORRECT!
Actor:  Again, my personal favorite would have been the comeback performance by Rourke, but Hollywood can't help itself fawning over nitwit Penn. CORRECT!
Director:  I'm going with the chalk: Danny Boyle directing this year's Best Picture . . . CORRECT!
Picture:  Slumdog Millionaire, filmed in Mumbai, India (that's Bombay to me). CORRECT!
