40cakesIt's Oscar time, kids! Here's the rundown and bizarre stuff so far:

"Babel"
"The Departed"
"Letters from Iwo Jima"
"Little Miss Sunshine"
"The Queen"
Now I REALLY have an excuse not to watch Little Miss Sunshine.
SUPPORTING ACTOR
Alan Arkin, "Little Miss Sunshine"
Jackie Earle Haley, "Little Children"
Djimon Hounsou, "Blood Diamond"
Eddie Murphy, "Dreamgirls"
Mark Wahlberg, "The Departed"
Take a moment and realize that Professor Klump and Marky Mark are dueling it out for an Oscar. Okay.

"Children of Men" David Arata, Alfonso Cuarón, Mark Fergus, Timothy J. Sexton, Hawk Ostby
"The Departed" Wiliam Monahan
"Little Children" Todd Field, Tom Perrotta
"Notes on a Scandal" Patrick Marber
Oh, and Borat's up for an Oscar, too.
ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
"Babel" Guillermo Arriaga
"Letters from Iwo Jima" Iris Yamashita, Paul Haggis
"Little Miss Sunshine" Michael Arndt
"Pan's Labyrinth" Guillermo del Toro
"The Queen" Peter Morgan
Oh please oh please oh please Pan's Labyrinth. PLEASE!
ART DIRECTION
"Dreamgirls"
"The Good Shepherd"
"Pan’s Labyrinth"
"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest"
"The Prestige"
I mean the sets and the effects and the Pale Man's room!
CINEMATOGRAPHY
"The Black Dahlia" (Universal) Vilmos Zsigmond
"Children of Men" (Universal) Emmanuel Lubezki
"The Illusionist" (Yari Film Group) Dick Pope
"Pan's Labyrinth" (Picturehouse) Guillermo Navarro
"The Prestige" (Buena Vista) Wally Pfister
Seriously, did you SEE the way they'd guide your eye and shoot different scenes with the same setup and the moving the camera around the trees to come out at a different scene? I love this movie so much.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM
"After the Wedding" Zentropa Entertainments; IFC (Denmark)
"Days of Glory" Tessalit Productions; The Weinstein Co. (Algeria)
"The Lives of Others" Wiedemann & Berg Filmproduktion; Sony Pictures Classics (Germany)
"Pan's Labyrinth" Estudios Picasso/Tequila Gang/Esperanto; Picturehouse (Mexico)
"Water" Téléfilm Canada/Noble Nomad Pictures Ltd.; Fox Searchlight (Canada)
I cross all my widdle fingers and my toes.
MAKEUP
"Apocalypto"
"Click"
"Pan’s Labyrinth"
Think about that for a moment. Pan's Labyrinth is an adult fairytale set during the final days of the Spanish Civil War. There's dirt and dust and scars and blood and monsters. Apocalypto is Mel Gibson's latest gibberishfest, but it's set in an ancient time, with tribal makeup and so on. CLICK IS AN ADAM SANDLER FEELGOOD FAMILY VEHICLE. WTF.
