Sisi Jinx:

Best Actress - Two weeks ago I would have said Kate Winslet without batting an eye but her hunger for this award has turned me off. So I'll go with Angelina Jolie

Sapphic:

I have only one wish for this Oscars, and that is for our darling Kate Winslet to win the Best Actress Oscar. I wonder why they did not nominate her under the Best Supporting Actress category too (maybe we could have had a repeat performance of the Globes). Abeg Merly Streep has won enough.

Abeg no blame the woman o. I am sure the feeling she had can be likened to all those Nigerian students who have sat for JAMB time after time only to not get a place in a university. After five attempts, the day they finally pass and get university admission, you need to check out the way some people practically run mad. And that is akin to Kates reaction. . . she was always the bridesmaid, never the bride. . . so her OTT behaviour though cringe worthy should be forgiven abeg.

Kate for Best Actress Oscar. . .
Chant! Chant!! Chant!!!
Kate!
Kate!!
KATE!!!
K-A-T-E!!!!!

I started watching Frozen River but I slept off in the middle of it. Its up for an Oscar? I even thought it was an indie movie. Boring movie jor!

I'm rooting for Taraji as well, her role in TCCOBB was sorta down played. She gave a good performance. I want Penelope to win for Vicky Christina o ehn ehn!!!

iice:

Yippie.  .  .good sisi made the thread
I only came on to.  .  .erhhh

Later i will post my comments.  .  .my consciousness i almost erhhh

People who are double nominees don't win.  .  .sigourney, julianne moore

Thats all for now

cabali:

who says Angelina Jolie for best actress puh-leeeze! I will stop going to the movies 

Mad_Max:

Here's hoping David Fincher wins for Best Director. He's one of the greatest directors on earth. He's ambitious and visionary. I'm rooting for his movie,TCCOBB.Want Josh Brolin to win for Milk, since they snubbed him for his great performance in No Country. Best actor, Pitt or Penn. I'm happy with either. Actress, Jolie, Hathaway or Wnslet.

KarmaMod:

There's hardly a difference between this list and GGs

Best Picture is definitely gonna be between Milk & Benjamin Button. Best actor will also be betwene brad Pitt & Sean Penn(though for a straight man to act THAT gay deserves recognition, lmao)

Best Supporting Actress I hope is between Penelope Cruz and Taraji Henson (Black actresses should use this as a reason to be part of GOOD MOVIES and not bullshit ghetto movies if they wnat a real career)

I hope Angelina gets best actress

Wouldnt it be cute if Angelina and Brad both won a gold man 

SeanT21:

Taraji aint gonna be winning shit!


Angie better win!!

Sisi Jinx:

Alrighty then. . . crossing Golden River off my list. 

Sisi Jinx:

I doubt very much movies won't miss ya.

Sisi Jinx:

Mee too ooooh, Keeping my fingers crossed for DF. Even if TCCOBB does not win for best movie, I hope he gets best director.
