I like the nominations (limited Passion, no Birth
) except for the exclusion of La chiavi di casa from the best foreign-language movie category ... that's life.
The race for best actress should be interesting, I hope it will go to Catalina Sandino Moreno or especially to Imelda Staunton who's just incredible but that would request some courage from Academy voters so I doubt it will happen.
For some of the others, I hope:
Best movie: The Aviator
Best director: Mike Leigh or Scorsese (he has to win sooner or later)
Best actor: Johnny Depp
Best supporting actress: Cate Blanchett
Best supporting actor: Alan Alda
Best foreign-language film-The sea Inside
Best cinematography- Zhao Xiaoding (House Of Flying Daggers)
Best art direction: Dante Ferretti and Francesca Lo Schiavo (The Aviator)
Even if probably the Oscar night wouldn't go exactly in my direction
