anyone wanna place bets?

Slumdog for best picture. Being an underdog gives it a huge advantage imo.
Button by far best makeup. visual effects will probably also win although Iron Man seems like a worthy adversary.

Waltz with Bashir - best foreign film. I just saw this and was blown away from the visuals and story. It's amazing how its presented with the music, but it's a shame that the score of Bashir would be nominated. The main theme was one of the best songs I've ever heard.

I thought DiCaprio would be nominated for best actor, but whatever.

I think it's not going to be that much different from the Golden Globes
