My picks...

No Country for Old Men - Only seen that and Juno from those five, and No Country was a damn fine movie, best yet for the Coen brothers!

I've only seen Eastern Promises from the Best Actor set, and Viggo definitely deserves the nomination, but from what I'm hearing about Lewis and There Will Be Blood, I'm expecting him to win. He's a phenominal actor and I really wanna see Blood.

I loved Ellen Page in Juno, and that's the only one I've seen from the Best Actress set, so I'm going with her. Besides, other than Julie Christie, I'm not a big fan of any of the others.

Again, only seen No Country from the Best Supporting Actor lot, but as good as Bardem was in it, I'd have a hard time seeing any of the others rivaling him (maybe Affleck though, he rocked in Gone Baby Gone!)

Ruby Dee for American Gangster, she's such a superb actress, she really deserves it.

Coen Brothers all the way for Best Director, I can't rave enough about that movie!

And Juno for the Screenplay, it's the only one I've seen from that bunch, but I loved the dialogue in it, so it gets my vote :)
