Name Those Oscars

I’ll limit myself to the major categories:

Picture: No Country
Director: Coens
Actor: Day-Lewis
Actress; Christie
Supporting Actor: Bardem
Supporting Actress: Amy Ryan
Original Screenplay: Juno (dammit)
Adapted Screenplay: PT Anderson (they have to give him something)

Also I’ll predict that Deakins wins for No Country, but Roderick Jaynes doesn’t win for editing
Alexander - Feb 22 '08, 2:33 am

Best Picture: No Country for Old Men

Best Director: The Coen Brothers

Best Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis

Best Actress: Julie Christie

Best Supporting Actor: Javier Bardem

Best Supporting Actress: Yeesh, it’s tough… I’m going to go with neither my head (Blanchett) nor my heart (Swinton) nor my fear (Dee) but rather my gut, Amy Ryan… By far the most undecided category. Are you thinking these four will “cancel each other out,” Craig, leaving it open for Ronan? I’d say that’s your gutsiest pick.

Best Original Screenplay: Juno (bleah… Please let either The Rat or Michael Clayton upset)

Best Adapted Screenplay: Coens (I’m not buying into the theory bouncing around that Anderson will get something because they have to give him something–I suspect aside from Day-Lewis winning, it’ll be shut out in the biggies)

Best Cinematography: Roger Deakins for No Country for Old Men (they like going with winners in this category, or at least near-misses–unless they think the work done was truly exceptional in a film they otherwise didn’t go for… ironically, Memoirs of a Geisha best demonstrates that kind of film, but it received, I believe, five or more Oscar nominations–now imagine if it had been approaching good)

Best Editing: The Bourne Ultimatum

Best Documentary: No End in Sight

Best Foreign Language Film: The Counterfeiters (always go with the one about Nazis)

Best Animated Feature: Ratatouille

Best Original Score: Atonement

Best Original Song: “Falling Slowly” (I actually think Enchanted will end up splitting its vote too many ways–did this not happen to Dreamgirls last year?)

Best Art Direction: There Will Be Blood

Best Costume Design: Sweeney Todd (though Atonement could win just because of The Green Dress some speak of with such reverence–but I’ll stay marked down with Sweeney)

Best Makeup: La Vie En Rose (ought to be an easy win)

Best Sound Editing: No Country for Old Men

Best Sound Mixing: No Country for Old Men

Best Visual Effects: Have no idea… The Golden Compass was pretty lousy and I skipped the other two nominees… I’ll just copy Craig and go with Pirates

As you can see, I’m pretty bullish on No Country. Probably too bullish. I’m going with it for the sound categories largely because I honestly can’t remember the sound mixing/editing being so superb in Bourne, though I’m sure it was quite excellent in its own right–whereas I thought the sound editing and sound mixing in No Country was perfect and made the film genuinely haunting in a terrifying yet subtle way. (Jan Swafford at Slate wrote a fascinating piece on this.)

I think There Will Be Blood will most likely have to remain content with winning Best Art Direction (though that could go in a different direction) and certainly Best Actor. There’s a little bit too much of a belief “out there” that Day-Lewis kind of co-directed the film… Anderson himself sort of confirmed that Day-Lewis played a hugely creative part in terms of his character and the film about a month ago. I don’t think that should negate Anderson’s direction or his vision, but it probably does at least a little, whereas the Coens, being so intensely driven with their own vision are the undisputed “auteurs” of their film. And then there’s the fact that they’re seen as “due” and all that.

I’m skipping the shorts awards because I’m not qualified to judge… Though I’m not qualified to judge Best Foreign Language, either, since I haven’t seen any of those films… Ah, but those Nazis seem like such a sure bet from afar…
Craig Kennedy - Feb 22 '08, 4:52 am

I’m bullish on No Country also and it will probably be my downfall. For two months, my heart has said it can’t win and I’ve looked for reasons why not, but none of them really held up.

So, in the end I’m going with my head and I’ll likely get burned and look like a sap. Oh well.
joel - Feb 22 '08, 7:37 am

I’ve been resisting the cool-aid on No Country for months, mostly so that I wouldn’t get my hopes up, partly because I can’t fathom the Academy is actually capable of it. We shall see, but if cats do lay do with dogs come Sunday night and monkeys indeed fly out of my ass, then I will once again revel in the backlash come Monday morning. Last year no amount of Departed this, Departed that whining could extinguish my glee over Scorsese finally getting his due.

It shall be interesting, that much is true. I haven’t been honestly excited to watch an Academy awards telecast in…well, ever. Kind of cool.
Dorothy Porker - Feb 22 '08, 7:54 am

Saoirse, Craig? I like it . I like it a lot. It’s gutsy. While I’d love to see Ryan win (and would have voted for her), a Ronan victory would be pretty cool. She’s quite the talented young lady and gave an unforgettable performance.

Here are some of mine, by the way:

-No Country for Old Men, Best Picture
-Paul Thomas Anderson, Best Director
-Marion Cotillard, Best Actress
-Daniel Day-Lewis, Best Actor
-Amy Ryan, Best S. Actress
-Javier Bardem, Best S. Actor

Craig Kennedy - Feb 22 '08, 8:30 am

Drink the Kool-Aid Joel. It’s purple flavored.

Dorothy. Every year I have to pick some kind of underdog. Saoirse winning and Transformers losing all the effects awards are my longshots.

Having said that, when Amy Ryan wins, I won’t be losing any sleep over it.

GO MARION!!!!!
Craig Kennedy - Feb 22 '08, 8:31 am

Alison. Norbit….ahahahah….and to answer your question in the parlance of possible best picture winner Juno: Hells no!
Alison Flynn - Feb 22 '08, 8:34 am

Yes, if Juno or Michael Clayton win, there will be plenty of people coming here and sobbing about it.
Chuck - Feb 22 '08, 9:59 am

No Country and Blood both being nominated already makes this the best Oscars in recent (or not so recent) memory. One of them winning is simply too good for that commitee to actually happen.

I think Juno is going to win Best Picture.

I could live with Clayton, its well made, sharp genre writing that I enjoyed immensely, but I think the little girl has it.

Which makes me wonder why she has it. Everyone is saying that the old people at the Academy will be bothered by the violence of the two best pictures of the year, but they aren’t bothered by the flip amorality of Juno? Which makes a joke out of giving your son away and is too up its heroine’s cocooned ass to wonder about the possible remourse of these actions? Or the effect on other family members like the parents of the parents?

I personally think that morality should be the last concern of most movies, but I’m trying to see this through the Academy’s eyes.
Alison Flynn - Feb 22 '08, 10:08 am

Well, Cinematical has posted their virtual Borgnine picks, otherwise known as the “what-would-Ernest-Borgnine-do” predictions:

http://www.cinematical.com/2008/02/20/oscar-predictions-the-borgnine-factor/

Be sure to check out their other surveys, like “Jose the Cabbie’s” picks.
Alexander - Feb 22 '08, 10:09 am

I’d argue that morality is one of the cornerstones of all fiction, including films. I’m guessing you mean that *the fear of displaying immoral or amoral behavior should be the last concern of most movies*? After all, No Country for Old Men has been called nihilistic by many but that’s just wrong. It’s actually another Coen morality play, in the classic sense of the term, in which certain abstractions are indelibly personified. There have been many violent morality plays and I’d hope Academy members could realize that. The Wild Bunch, Platoon, Saving Private Ryan, The Departed immediately come to mind in this regard.

In years where they (AMPAS members) could feel okay going with a lesser film because it’s less violent and less thorny than another, I agree that the violent content of certain films mattered but in other cases, no. The Silence of the Lambs, Unforgiven, Schindler’s List (all of which, I think, could be called morality plays in their own right, come to think of it) in the early ’90s–The Departed and (presumptively) No Country for Old Men in the mid-’00s.

Wow, I get onto weird tangents.
Chuck - Feb 22 '08, 10:15 am

My phrasing was careless Alexander, your interpretation is exactly what I meant. Films should strive to capture or interpret life, or divert us from those things, or voice strange taboos that make us nervous. Movies shouldn’t be afraid to be uncomfortable or upset people. But, no, I’m not championing outright immorality in film.
Alexander - Feb 22 '08, 10:22 am

Hehe… I knew what you meant. I was just trying to help you make your great point a little bit more lucid.
Alexander - Feb 22 '08, 10:26 am

I just clicked on your name and checked your website, Chuck, and I agree with you that Juno is “…irresponsible teen babe wishful thinking malarkey…” I find that to be an excellent summation.

I’ll make your website a place I visit more often.
Chuck - Feb 22 '08, 10:53 am

Thanks!
Alexander - Feb 22 '08, 11:09 am

You’re of course welcome… I’m already trying to stir things up regarding Philip Seymour Hoffman… :-)
jennybee - Feb 22 '08, 2:37 pm

Here are my predix. I think these are the same ones I turned into the Sultans this morning, but don’t excommunicate me if they aren’t.

Best Pic: No Country–could be upset by almost any of these, but I doubt it
Best Director–Coens. Though I can see PTA upsetting, he’s young enough they’ll wait to award him later. Schnabel’s a little too divisive.
Best Actor–Daniel Day-Lewis
Best Actress–Julie Christie. Would love to see a Cotillard upset, but I can’t imagine the old Academy not going for their old love Christie.
Best Supporting Actor–Javier Bardem, friendo
Best Supporting Actress–Saorise Ronan. I’m not copying Craig, I swear. But it’s a category with four frontrunners and I think a lot of people are going to vote for the Irish girl who’s starring next in The Lovely Bones. Besides, she has broad enough support to beat out Vanessa Redgrave, so it feels like a reasonable guess.
Original Screenplay–Juno, though I’m hoping for a Ratatouille or even Michael Clayton upset
Adapted–No Country for Old Men
Film Editing–No Country for Old Men. Bourne will probably win, but I think if NCfOM is winning pic, it will take this one, too.
Cinematography–There Will Be Blood. This is perhaps the toughest category to call. I keep changing my mind on this one.
Art Direction–There Will Be Blood. Can’t decide if TWBB, Atonement or Sweeney has the best chance, but I’m going with Blood.
Costume–Elizabeth–I always bet against the most elaborate costuming in favor of what I think are more creative choices, and I always lose this one, so I’m going with the unsubtle costuming of Elizabeth: TGA
Makeup–La Vie en Rose, though I think Norbit actually has a good chance. Dude’s got eleventy-dozen previous Oscar noms/wins, so he’s got to have talent.
Sound Mixing–Transformers. I’m betting on O’Connor & Russell, though they’ve once again got some tough competition. I think theirs is the loudest of the nominees, so there’s that.
Sound Editing–Bourne Ultimatum
Visual Effects–Transformers. Giant space robots with silly monotone voices aren’t my thing, but I can’t argue that the visuals weren’t done well.
Score–Atonement. Ratoutouille could spoil, though. Would love to see 3:10 take it, but that’s a longshot.
Song–Falling Slowly.
Animated–Ratatouille
Foreign Film–Katyn. Will probably go to Counterfeiters, but I’ve been predicting Katyn since my earliest Sultans vote, so I’m sticking with it.
Documentary–War/Dance. Toss-up.
Doc short–La Corona
Animated short–Madame Tutli-Putli
Alison Flynn - Feb 22 '08, 2:47 pm

jennybee, I would love it if Ronan won. I thought she was terrific. But I’m predicting Amy Ryan, based on a gut feeling which will probably be wrong.

Michael Claymation shut out :-)
sartre - Feb 22 '08, 3:12 pm

Alison, if your best picture prediction comes true you owe me dinner. Just thought I’d remind you :-)
Alison Flynn - Feb 22 '08, 3:29 pm

That’s true. The film that I hoped would win wasn’t even nominated. :-(

And Atonement is turning out to be a real long-shot, isn’t it.
sartre - Feb 22 '08, 3:33 pm

And my second film in our wager was nominated too – TWbB. If Atonement wins I’ll be happy for you and Sam. Though he can buy his own dinner.
Alison Flynn - Feb 22 '08, 3:38 pm

:-)

Actually, No Country and TWBB are both higher on my top 10 list than Atonement. But I was predicting Atonement because it seemed like the Academy film.

Watch, Juno or Michael Clayton will win, and we can each buy our own dinner.
sartre - Feb 22 '08, 3:45 pm

I’ll be crying in mine :-(
Dorothy Porker - Feb 22 '08, 4:14 pm

I’ll be positively in heaven if “Atonement” wins best picture. There’s enough champagne to go around!
sartre - Feb 22 '08, 4:16 pm

And if Marion wins? What tops heaven?
Dorothy Porker - Feb 22 '08, 4:27 pm

That would be…wow, sartre. That would be incredible. I confess, I might cry (she just won the Cesar and I almost lost it when she thanked her co-stars and parents).
sartre - Feb 22 '08, 4:34 pm

No actor/actress could possibly want for a better champion of their oscar worthiness than you, Dorothy. You have worked so hard and expertly at maintaining her oscar profile through your site and comments. I know it was a labor of love but nonetheless your efforts have been outstanding. I’ll truly be just as happy for you as I am for Marion should she win.
Dorothy Porker - Feb 22 '08, 4:44 pm

You’re so sweet :-) Thank you.
Sam Juliano - Feb 22 '08, 6:56 pm

Sartre: If ATONEMENT wins, I will be so happy that I’ll buy dinner for both you and Alison. I didn’t have the GUTS that Craig had when he predicted Ronan, but I would much rather be wrong and gleefully see the young girl walk up to the podium. That would be glorious. On the list I just submitted to the Sultans, I crossed off Ruby Dee and finally settled on Amy Ryan, whom I somehow feel will prevail based on her resounding critical namings by the vast majority of the groups. But Sartre may also be right with Ms. Blanchett, who was extraordinary by any standard. And Craig knows all about the British vote, which would propel Ronan to a victory if the Americans all split, which may well happen this year.
And Sartre, I have finally fallen to the Cotillard hype. Pierre has been going back and forth with Christie and Cotillard (although I do believe he settled with Christie) and I keep hearing Lucio’s “Cotillard to Win” chants in my sleep. The smart $$$ is probably still with Christie, but I can envision this popular upset occuring. So Cotillard it is on my prediction slate.
Partially because of wishful thinking, and partly because I believe it can happen, I went with a technical trifecta for ATONEMENT with score, costumes and art direction. Score seems to be the one lock of the three, as is the song from ONCE,, “Falling Slowly.”
There seems to be far too much buzz, hype, exposure, critical love, endless wins and general recognition to deny NO COUNTRY, despite what Joel rightly contends (the acceptance of violence by voters who would prefer to placate their emotions rather than their bloodlust) and Craig predicts with grave misgivings. Back at Awards Daily, Sasha Stone has promoted this film from day one, and there is little evidence to dispute his pre-eminence. Of course I am praying my ballot tanks consumately, and ATONEMENT pulls a big upset. That would almost erase the BROKEBACK abomination of two years ago, but not quite.
No film of the five is as emotionally satifying or as exhiliarating as this stylish and beautiful literary adaptation, but haven’t I said that more than once over the past months?
The Coens, Daniel-Day Lewis and Javier Bardem are all locks, but what infant doesn’t know as much at this point.
The writing winners go to THE DIVING BELL in a mild upset, and JUNO, while NO COUNTRY snares editing and Robert Elswit sadly breaks Mr. Deakins’ heart with his BLOOD win, but Deakins may still triumph for either film (yes JESSE JAMES is the best-photographed film of the year in my view too)
THE COUNTERFEITORS, RATATOUILLE and NO END IN SIGHT will win foreign film, animated film and documentary, respectively.

Craig Kennedy - Feb 22 '08, 11:45 pm

“No Country and Blood both being nominated already makes this the best Oscars in recent (or not so recent) memory.” Yeah, what Chuck said, but I reject his second part about Juno winning jack shit. :)

Alexander, I encourage you to spend plenty of time at Chuck’s site, but I hope it won’t be at the expense of your time spent here!

Jennybee, I know you weren’t copying, you’re just your typically brilliant self. Irish girls rule.
Alexander - Feb 23 '08, 12:11 am

No, Craig, not at all–that’s why the gods of the Internet created separate windows, my friend. :-)

I saw Juno again today, along with In Bruges, and, honestly, if Ellen Page were to win Best Actress I think I’d be perfectly fine with it. Her performance worked for me significantly more, and she made what was kind of a “too perfect” character seem three-dimensional and real. From what I had heard, the race had become Christie vs. Page but that was a while ago. I’d much rather see Juno be given its due in this fashion than for the screenplay, in any event.
sartre - Feb 23 '08, 9:04 am

Looking at other people’s choice I wouldn’t be surprised if nearly any of those differing from mine came through. The only one’s that are truly long shots to me would be Craig and jennybee’s selection of Raorise, and jeff’s P.T. Anderson for adapted screenplay pick.

My head says Christie (the SAG is a mighty precursor, career achievement award, english language film etc.), but I’m going with my heart when it comes to Cotillard because of the towering quality of her performance.

Sam, if Atonement wins I’m looking forward to being introduced to the delights of NY deli sandwiches.
Nicholas Plowman - Feb 23 '08, 10:24 am

I just got back from a crazy Oscar nominated movie-fest/cram thing, and haven’t even had time to think about who will win/who I want to win at the Oscars. The night is still young here, so I will be back!
Nicholas Plowman - Feb 23 '08, 2:10 pm

So here I am, back again, I am now bald and have no more hair left to pull out, here is why:

Sam Juliano - Feb 23 '08, 2:13 pm

Sartre:
Do you prefer KATZ’s DELI on Houston Street or the famed CARNEGIE DELI north of Times Square. The Woodman is a regular at the latter!
Alison Flynn - Feb 23 '08, 2:17 pm

Oh, Katz’s Deli is much better. And it’s in a cooler neighborhood, Sam.
sartre - Feb 23 '08, 4:50 pm

My initial reaction Sam was why limit ourselves to only one? But then Alison, known for her exquisite taste, made a persuasive case for Katz’s Deli. My wife and I might need some help when ordering, NYers might well struggle with our Kiwi accents.

Nick, we only differ on two choices! I’m feeling very encouraged given your recent track record.
Nicholas Plowman - Feb 23 '08, 4:57 pm

LMAO, what would I know, this is only my second year following the Oscars, your guess is as good as mine!
