Best Picture:
District 9 and Avatar, of course, but they should be nominated for "Overhyped Computer Wanking Movie." Avatar is going to win, no doubt, it toppled Titanic, directed by the same guy who directed Titanic. James Cameron, the director, he's on top of the world. However, I'd much rather have Inglorious Basterds take it.

Best Director:
Tarantino please! Obviously Cameron will win.

Best Actor:
Morgan Freeman please.

Best Actress:
Meryl Streep, my chemistry teacher would like that.

Best Supporting Actor:
Christoph Waltz. I liked the character. I mean I never read about a Nazi who betrayed the National Socialist Party in any capacity, so to me, the character was unique.

Best Supporting Actress:
No preference

Best Original Screenplay:
Tarantino

Best Adapted Screenplay:
District 9. It looked like Independence Day to me

Best Animated Feature:
No preference.

Tarantino should take all the awards he and his movie is nominated for. Just the fact he and the movie are nominated in many different categories show the strength of Inglorious Basterds, which deserves it. High replay value for me.

For the most part, Oscar nominees never come from movies I'm interested in or are for actors/actresses I personally like so I probably won't even watch the awards.

Not that I follow recent cinema much, but I hope Matt Damon and Meryl Streep take their respective categories, and I hope Avatar doesn't win best picture even though I know it will.
