More Predictions.

I thought it would be more suiting, and more interesting, if I completed my predictions for the Oscars. I won't go into much detail on why I believe my prediction is right. We'll just see when the Oscars happen:

Best Art Direction
Changeling
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The Dark Knight
The Dutchess
Revolutionary Road

Again, I have a slight bias since I haven't seen every movie. But I think Benjamin Button will take it, since it was a beautifully directed movie.

Best Cinematography
Changeling
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The Dark Knight
The Reader
Slumdog Millionaire

I'm kind of at a loss of what may get it. Although Slumdog Millionaire did wonderfully capture India's landscape.

Best Costume Design
Australia
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The Dutchess
Milk
Revolutionay Road

I'm choosing The Dutchess because a couple years ago, Marie Antoinette won. Oscar gets really impressed with 18th-19th century attire.

Best Documentary Feature
The Betrayel (Nerakhoon)
Encounters at the End of the World
The Garden
Man on Wire
Trouble the Water

From watching my critic shows, Man on Wire is always praised.

Best Documentary Short
The Conscience of Nhem En
The Final Inch
Smile Pinki
The Witness-from the Balcony of Room 306

Again, going out on a limb here. It will probably be one of the India ones.

Best Film Editing
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The Dark Knight
Frost/Nixon
Milk
Slumdog Millionaire

The editing in Slumdog really added to the suspense.

Best Foreign Language Film
The Baader Meinhof Complex
The Class
Departures
Revanche
Waltz With Bashir

This is another one I have no idea about, but Waltz With Bashir has been talked about a lot, and it's supposed to be really good.

Best Make-up
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The Dark Knight
Hellboy II: The Golden Army

Brad Pitt's aging was really quite breath-taking.

Best Short Animated Film
La Maison En Petits Cubes
Lavatory-Lovestory
Oktapodi
Presto
This Way Up

I loved the rabbit :)

Best Short Live Action Film
Auf Der Strecke (On the Line)
Manon on the Asphalt
New Boy
The Pig
Spielzeugland (Toyland)

WWII has to enter this award show somehow.

Best Sound Editing
The Dark Knight
Iron Man
Slumdog Millionaire
WALL-E
Wanted

WALL-E, I suspect, is going to grab most of the sound awards.

Best Sound Mixing
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The Dark Knight
Slumdog Millionaire
WALL-E
Wanted

See above.

Best Visual Effects
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The Dark Knight
Iron Man

Again, the aging process was AMAZING.
