The Dark Knight
Frost/Nixon
Milk
Benjamin Button
Slumdog Millionaire (the winner)
Best Actress
Sally Hawkins in Happy Go Lucky (my favorite)
Meryl Streep in Doubt
Anne Hathaway in Rachel Getting Married (the winner)
Kate Winslet in Revolutionary Road
Melissa Leo in Frozen River
Best Actor
Sean Penn in Milk
Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler (my favorite)
Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino (the winner?)
Richard Jenkins in The Visitor
Frank Langella in Frost/Nixon

Best Director
Christopher Nolan - The Dark Knight
David Fincher - B Button
Danny Boyle - Slumdog (winner)
Ron Howard - Frost/Nixon
Woody Allen - Vicky Cristina Barcelona (i have a hard time being objective, but i'm just ever-hopeful this movie will surprise in a big way and wind up with 4 or 5 noms.)
Any guesses? Thoughts? Feelings? What do you think should be nominated? What would you like to see nominated?

I hope Cate Blanchett, get nominated for Benjamin Button, she was spectacular , the movie on the other hand...way to long.....but your right Anne will win :D
You've got some brass ones calling it for Anne Hathaway. But you make a lot of sense.
Dark Night will not get a nomination. I thin Heath Ledger will be the only one to get a nomination and even that is a long shot. Other then that I like your lists.
Most of these are dead-on, but I have a hard time believing that Benjamin Button is going to be nominated for Picture and Director without getting ANY noms in the acting categories. If Taraji gets nominated I'll kill something, but she might push Amy Adams out of the race. Brad Pitt will probably push Jenkins out of consideration.
