Well, not long to go now until the Academy Awards for 2006 happen... here are my predictions of who I think will win, and who I hope will win.
BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Jennifer Hudson (for 'Dreamgirls') I'd like to see Hudson win, and I think she will.
BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Alan Arkin (for 'Little Miss Sunshine') I'd love to see Arkin get an Oscar - he's such an underrated actor.
Eddie Murphy (for 'Dreamgirls') I think Murphy will win. Part of me will be happy if he does, I like seeing comedians get these awards.
BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE
Helen Mirren (for 'The Queen') I think Mirren will win, and I hope she does too.
BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE
Peter O'Toole (for 'Venus') I'm hoping O'Toole gets it, but I know this is ridiculously optimistic of me. That O'Toole was overlooked for his performance in 'Lawrence of Arabia' all those years ago still rankles with me and I think the Academy HAS to make it up to him. They probably won't though.
Forest Whitaker (for 'The Last King of Scotland') I think Forest has it in the bag though. His performance is so big that a lot of the Academy's voters will find it hard to ignore.
BEST PICTURE
Little Miss Sunshine The only thing that might stop me smashing the television is if 'Little Miss Sunshine' gets it instead. I could never be mad at this film for winning!
BEST ACHIEVEMENT IN DIRECTION
Martin Scorsese (for 'The Departed') Scorsese better get it. I think he will... and I hope he does too. If they give another one to Eastwood I will be very frustrated and, as a symbolic protes, will possibly go and smash every DVD I own that features Clint Eastwood in some capacity.

I don't think I'd mind if Abigail Breslin got it, but I don't think she will though.
