Leonardo Dicaprio gave one of the best performances of his career! The academy can’t over look that! I hope that Danny Boyle wins for Slumdog Millionaire. He was a magnifecent director for that movie.

I always like to pick something a bit unusual, but I am hoping Dark Knight doesn’t get many nominations. I enjoyed the film, but it was really too long, and overhyped.

From my point of view Waltz with Bashir should get a nod for best picture. That movie is a masterpiece, people!
