Slumdog Millionaire was the big winner last night, taking home 8 awards, including Picture, Director, and Screenplay. Steph and I both got 15 of 24 correct.
Now 2009 really begins. The first big movie of the year is The Watchmen, which opens on March 6th (all 2 hours and 40 minutes of it - longest comic book movie ever).
Here are some very early picks for next year; not actual predictions of what might win, or even be nominated, but what I'm personally looking forward to. However, I will predict that at least 3 of these picks WILL be nominated.
Picture: Public Enemies
Director: Michael Mann, Public Enemies
Actor: Adam Sandler, Funny People
Actress: Hilary Swank, Amelia
Supporting Actor: Max Von Sydow, Shutter Island
Supporting Actress: Saoirse Ronan, The Lovely Bones
Original Screenplay: Inglorious Basterds (written by Quentin Tarantino)
Adapted Screenplay: Shutter Island (written for the screen by Laeta Kalogridis)
Editing: The Watchmen
Cinematography: Public Enemies
Art Direction: Sherlock Holmes
Costumes: A Serious Man
Make-up: Wolfman
Visual Effects: Avatar
Sound Editing: Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
Sound Mixing: Taking Woodstock
Original Score: The Road (by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis)
Animated Film: Fantastic Mr. Fox (by Wes Anderson)
Foreign Language Film: Broken Embraces (by Pedro Almodovar)
Documentary Film: Freakanomics (by Alex Gibney)
These are very out-of-left-field picks, because it's just impossible to know. To illustrate that best, just remember that at this point last year, it was anticipated that Slumdog Millionaire would be released Straight-To-DVD.
