Our Oscar contest continues with yet another entry, as my pal Mark H. emails in his choices.
Here are his predictions (with comments): 1. Best motion picture of the year
- Slumdog Millionaire (everyone jumps on the bandwagon; I guess this was the best in a mediocre year)
2. Performance by an actor in a leading role
- Sean Penn in Milk
3. Performance by an actor in a supporting role
- Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight (probably should be Hoffman, but I'll be shocked if Ledger doesn't get this posthumously)
4. Performance by an actress in a leading role
- Kate Winslet in The Reader (Oscar is ready to anoint the 'next greatest living actress' and Winslet was superb in The Reader)
5. Performance by an actress in a supporting role
- Taraji P. Henson in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (my surprise pick. Davis was incredible in Doubt, but her part was too small to justify this award)
6. Best animated feature film of the year
- WALL-E
7. Achievement in visual effects
- The Dark Knight
8. Achievement in music written for motion pictures (Original score)
- Slumdog Millionaire (bandwagon, part deux)
