The Academy Award nominations will be announced tomorrow.

Care to speculate who will be nominated?

1. I hope it's Johnny Depp's year!

6. I would love to see him win, but

I really feel that Jamie Foxx has this one locked up. A close second to him is Leo D. He was pretty darn good as Hughes. I would personally love to see Jim Carrey nominated for Eternal Sunshine. I thought he was fantastic and he never gets his due from the Hollywood establishment. It's going to be a super tight race for males this year.

For the females, I can only think of 3: Kate Winslet, either for Finding Neverland or Eternal Sunshine; Annette Benning - Being Julia; and Hilary Swank - Million Dollar Baby. Oh, possibly chick from Vera Drake (although I didn't get to see it - it didn't play anywhere near me. I don't even think it came to this state. Imagine that - a pro-choice movie not playing in the Bible Belt).

I do hope Cate Blanchett has a lock on Supporting Actress this year. I'm still pissed that they freakin' gave the Best Actress win to Gwyneth over Cate (for her stunning performance as Elizabeth I).

It's sad that I'm so pysched for this, but hey - this is my Superbowl. Bring on the awards..........

7. Kate Winslet has been nominated a bunch of times and not won

They might give her the "cumulative" Oscar.

And you're right - Cate B. was robbed that year!

16. My Super Bowl too!

There is an outside chance that Cloris Leachman might get a Best Supporting nod for "Spanglish". I would love to see her get another nomination. It's been over 30 years when she nominated and won for "The Last Picture Show".

2. Jamie Foxx looks like he'll win

although I prefer Johnny Depp.

3. The Aviator, even though it was boring as hell.

The performances were great. Leo might win.

[terrya]

8. I hope Scorcese will FINALLY win Best Director this year.

Lord knows, he's WAY overdue for being recognized for his excellent body of work.

[saltpoint]

4. Best documentary nomination for --

-- Jonathan Cauette's TARNATION.

[elperromagico]

5. I won't be nominated. Therefore, my interest is limited.

:D

[donheld]

9. I sent your nomination in months ago

so if you don't get it, it's not my fault.

[swimmernsecretsea]

10. I've wrapped a coke bottle in gold foil...

Go make a speech. Tears and everything. Hell, I used to use my hairbrush as the Oscar.

[elperromagico]

11. Can I give mad props to God?

Or is that more of a Grammy sort of thing?

[ronnykmarshall]

18. I have one of those plastic "Oscars"

Back when you could greet people at the airport gate, we used to hand it out like lai's in Hawaii. A little Hollywood tradition.

I actually held a REAL Oscar. I could kick myself for not getting my pictre taken with it. I held an Emmy too!

[hangemhigh]

12. It's all about Jamie Foxx this year-

and rightfully so-what an incredible performance in Ray. I'm already tearing up thinking about his acceptance speech for his Grandma.

[ceile]

I'm boycotting!

Bil Murray should have won last year so I'm refusing to watch this time!

[ronnykmarshall]

14. I really didn't get that film.

I think Bill Murray's great, but saw that film and ..... :wtf:

[ronnykmarshall]

13. Jamie Fox is a lock.

I think he's a lock of the Oscar itself, not just a nomination.

[terrya]

15. I do, too.

It's a very, very good performance.

[hollywood926]

17. It's too bad...he wasn't really acting...

He just imitated Ray Charles for 2 hours. I mean he was good - but that's not acting, it's imitating. Everyone on SNL deserves an Oscar if he gets one!

I suppose you could argue the same is true for Leonardo, but he didn't have as much to imitate since Hughes made few public appearances after a certain point.
