My Oscar Bets

It hasn't started yet (at least, here) and I think I still have time to post my bets for the 77th Academy Awards this year...and check out later how right I am or how miserable a guesser I am.

Unlike last year when we all knew that the Lord of the Rings will sweep all the more than ten nominations it got, this year's Oscar's is a tad difficult to guess because almost every nominee is a sure winner.

Complete set of nominations here.

Without further ado, here are my bets:

Best Picture: Million Dollar Baby

Best Actor: Jamie Foxx for Ray

Best Actress: Hilary Swank for Million Dollar Baby

Best Supporting Actor: Morgan Freeman for Million Dollar Baby

Best Supporting Actress: Cate Blanchett for the Aviator

Best Animated Feature Film: Shrek 2

Best Original Screenplay: John Logan for the Aviator

Let's now see how this all works out....

UPDATE on March 1, 1:15PM, Manila Time:

Hmmmm....not bad.

The results are out. It seems I'm not too bad a predictor. I was right on most of the major awards.

I just missed out on the last two. Brad Bird for the Incredibles won the Oscar for best animated feature film and the team of Charlie Kaufman won the original screenplay award for the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
