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
The Departed I think the Departed will win. And if it doesn't I will most likely smash my television in anger
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.
