Well this is it folks. The moment movie fans have been waiting for. The Oscars are this Sunday, Feb. 22nd. Yes, I will be watching.

Here are my final and last predictions. I know I did this once before but I want to do mine all over again. I will only do the top categories.

My Oscar predictions:

Best Actor in a Leading Role: Mickey Rourke, “The Wrestler”

Best Actor in a Supporting Role: Heath Ledger, “The Dark Knight”

Best Actress in a Leading Role: Two way tie between Kate Winslet, “The Reader”, or Angelina Jolie, “The Changeling”. If I would pick one, it would probably end up being Kate Winslet.

Best Actress in a Supporting Role: Marisa Tomei, “The Wrestler”

Best Animated Featured film: “Wall-E”, hands down.

Best Directing: Danny Boyle, “Slumdog Millionaire”.

Music (Score): Slumdog Millionaire

Music (Song): “Jai Ho” Slumdog Millionaire, this the song played at the end of “Slumdog Millionaire” where Dev Petel and Freida Pinto were dancing with a huge amount of people at a subway station while the credits were rolling. Sorry Peter Gabriel, but I think “Jai Ho” will be the big winner. I’m willing to bet you, Dev and Freida will do a live dance performance on stage at the Oscars for this song as well.

Best Picture: Slumdog Millionaire…this will hands down win “Best Picture” category no matter what happens. I haven’t seen all the movies nominated for “Best Picture”, Slumdog is the only one I’ve seen and I can easily see this film being the big Oscar winner. Slumdog Millionaire is such an incredible, amazing and phenonemal film that I don’t see how anyone can not like this movie. I will definitely be watching this on DVD a lot when it comes out. I still feel kind of bad for Dev Petel not getting nominated for “Best Actor” or Freida Pinto getting snubbed for “Best Actress”, those two were really great in this film and it’s the best acting I’ve seen in years. Not bad for two actors who has never had an acting role in their lives before. 🙂

Well there you have it, my final and last of the Oscar predictions.
