I would have put in Best actress and supporting actress to, but I mention these two because I've agrued about them the most. My very good friend of mine and myself have been arguring about the Lead actor race. I think Will Smith has it, he was absolutley inspiring in the pursuit of Happyness. So much so, right after seeing it I got a job and got a girlfriend!( course,the job was at Big Boy's and me and the girl broke up two weeks after words, but that's besides the point.)

My friend, on the other hand thinks the victor will be Forrest Whitttaker. He said was absolutely astonizing as Idi Admin. I've seen both King and Happyness and so has he,and were both at odds. My uncle thinks it will Peter O'Toole mainly because the academy will hand him the gold before he kicks the Bucket. My mom added that Leo Dicpario would be a front-runner it he got a nod. for the Departed instead of Blood Diamond. We all agree however,that Ryan Gosling has no chance in heaven,hell or even Las Vegas of winning.


That's when another debate came up: what about Supporting Actor? I think Eddie Murphy will easily win because he's won everything else,why not this? His singing was suberb, and he showed the vulenblity of superstars. My friend once again differs, he says Alan Arkin will win, and if doesn't, he should win. We even went as far as making a bet: I say Murphy will win, my buddy says that Murphy won't. Which means even if Arkin loses and so does Murphy, he still wins. He saw Little Children(Jackie Earle Haley) ,The departed(Mark Wahlbeg), and Blood Diamond(Djlimon Housnou and thought they were all astonishing in their respective roles.

So,the question: who in your opnion deserves the prize(s)?

I think out of the 4 Forrest is almost a lock. I will be stunned if he does not win and upset as well. Forrest is one of the great actors working in film today and I think it is time he was viewed as such.

I thought Leo was great in The Departed, subpar in Blood Diamond. What do I know?

Will Smith was really good in Happyness, and I wouldn't mind him winning. But I agree that Forrest Whitaker will win and deservedly so.

I hope Eddie wins for Dreamgirls. And I'd like the Academy to retroactively nominate Meryl Streep in the Supporting Actress role. Her performance in Prada was Oscar worthy, but not as lead. And Helen Mirren has that on lockdown. For all her nominations, Meryl hasn't won, I'm pretty sure, since the '80s.

That pretty much looks right. I only wish Eddie wasn't following it up with two or three Nutty Professor knockoffs.

There's always an upset, and I'm calling Wahlberg for best supporting actor.

Speak for yourself. People can't want for Norbit.

I just wrote a huge post detailing my thoughts on this subject, which I then erased with a slip of my palms.

Probably for the best, seeing as at the time I erased it it was devolving into a rant about how much "Blood Diamond" sucks ass.

I'll get into detail another time, but suffice to say that I fully expect Whitaker and Murphy to win their respective awards, though Murphy has a chance of being upset by Arkin.

I also didn't get the hype around Blood Diamond. I was bored throughout and singing praises when it ended. (The missus wouldn't let me leave earlier.)
