I'm gazing into my Oscar crystal ball again and predicting the 2009 Best Actress category, the only one that matters to anyone with half a brain.
Take it from Mikey that this year the nominees will be:
Meryl Streep for Julie and Julia
Carey Mulligan for An Education
Gabourey Sidibe for Precious
Helen Mirren for The Last Station
and Saoirse Ronan for The Lovely Bones
Any arguments?

No arguments, but with those nominees, my guess is: No ratings!!!
Posted On: Friday, Oct. 30 2009 @ 9:30AMI pray this is the year Meryl finally gets another one.
But you really think there'll be two young girls in the running (Gabourey and Saoirse, whoever they are)?
Posted On: Friday, Oct. 30 2009 @ 9:31AMAnd Carey Mulligan's only 24.
The Academy loves their Swank & they love biopics - nothing for Amelia?
Posted On: Friday, Oct. 30 2009 @ 10:03AMI'm not totally ruling out Swank, despite the reviews.
Posted On: Friday, Oct. 30 2009 @ 10:17AMMeryl stank up that movie -- Dan Aykroyd was better in the role of the Julia -- what will stop the Academy's insane practice of throwing Meryl an Oscar every time she takes a shit -- with a lousy accent! Her accents are as bad as Dick Van Dyke's in Mary Poppins and everyone pees in admiration that she is doing an accent -- fuck her!
Posted On: Friday, Oct. 30 2009 @ 10:36AMMerylsucks should crawl back into her/his hole and die. He/she sounds like one of those teabaggers, dredging up old, out of date-isms about Meryl's skill with accents.
There's some talk that Annette Bening might have a film coming out for our consideration.
Posted On: Friday, Oct. 30 2009 @ 10:47AMThe movie industry has been fucked for the last decade like the music industry and the whole entertainment industry. Bring back the 80s, I could care less about any of these people or films.
Posted On: Friday, Oct. 30 2009 @ 11:02AMI hope it's Hilary vs. Annette for the third time.
Posted On: Friday, Oct. 30 2009 @ 11:35AMI long for the time when Marsha Mason would get nominated every year for best actress---not for a particular movie role as much as for being Neil Simon's wife.
Interesting how that stopped when she divorced him.
Posted On: Friday, Oct. 30 2009 @ 11:42AMI actually thought Carey Mulligan was younger, she's the same age as Keira Knightly but played the youngest Bennet sister in Pride & Prejudice. She has buzz about her as the next Audrey Hepburn, I am sure there is going to be buzz of her to the point of nausea with this film.
Saoirse Ronan, who was robbed of an Oscar for Atonement, better be nominated. She's brilliant.
I do think one of the women in Nine will be moved to Leading while maybe one of two of them for supporting like they did with Chicago. Marianne? Penelope?
I assume Melanie Laurent for supporting in Inglorious Basterds but if you pay attention the movie it is about Shoshanna.
I have heard Penelope Cruz as a double nominee for Nine and Broken Embraces.
Gainsbourg for Anti-Christ?
I have heard Vera Ferminga in Up In The Air. She is considered the best actress never nominated for an Oscar and anything next to Clooney's name taken seriously is gold eg Tilda Swinton.
Zooey Deschanel in 500 Days of Summer? That may the movie that gets a lot of for your consideration but only settles with Best Original Screenplay type of movie.
Posted On: Friday, Oct. 30 2009 @ 12:06PMZooey doesn't have a chance.
Vera will be in supporting.
No way for Gainsborg. The movie's too weird.
Posted On: Friday, Oct. 30 2009 @ 12:52PMMo'nique --- And she'll will cry maple syrup when she collects her Oscar!
Posted On: Friday, Oct. 30 2009 @ 1:13PMThe last two slots are still up for grabs, and I'm not even sure gabby will make it to the top five. Cornish, Bening, perhaps even Farmiga, or Penelope will fight it out with Mirren and Ronan.
Posted On: Friday, Oct. 30 2009 @ 1:23PMWhy didn't they make this the category with ten nominees? Who cares about ten "best" films when ten actresses is more fun? And five nominees for everything else is still too much. Two would be just perfect - if you cared for a category, then you'll always have a 50-50 chance of seeing your favorite make it.
So my dream Oscar show would have just that: two nominees for everything, except for the ten for best actress. Much shorter running time, more symbolic (and maybe actual) catfights. Maybe Congress can pass some kind of legislation for this?
Posted On: Friday, Oct. 30 2009 @ 3:25PMthey owe Meryl! if she wins this year though it'll really be for Devil Wears Prada. Kinda like giving Hairy (Robin) Williams an oscar for Good Will Boring, when really they were just giving him his award for Good Morning Vietnam. will there be 10 acting nominations as well, or is that just for best picture??
Posted On: Friday, Oct. 30 2009 @ 5:42PMOnly Best Picture wil have 10 nominees. The acting categories get 5.
Posted On: Friday, Oct. 30 2009 @ 8:21PMI'll go with your picks. I haven't seen any of these movies.
Posted On: Friday, Oct. 30 2009 @ 9:16PMI think it is universally accepted Anti-Christ is not for everyone, as it was hated at Cannes but even they gave Gainsbourg acting honors. The last scene was extremely graphic and brave. If Halle Berry won one for a sex scene considered raw, brave, graphic, etc then certainly the mutilation scene will make voters lean toward at least acknowledging Gainsbourg.
Posted On: Friday, Oct. 30 2009 @ 9:54PMMarion Cotillard will be pushed lead for 'Nine', so considering its Harvey Weinstein pushing the film and she is reportedly amazing in it, I wouldn't be surprised if her name was pulled up. Penelope Cruz might get a supporting nod for 'Nine' - she's definitely not getting one for 'Broken Embraces' - while I enjoyed it, I just can't see it taking awards like 'Volver' did.
I think Annette Bening's film is inelligble, and I think everyone's made up their mind that Hilary Swank is a long-shot. What about Vera Farmiga in 'Up in The Air'? Abbie Cornish seems to be losing buzz for 'Bright Star'.
Tilda Swinton for Julia. Caught it on dvd. Amazing performance.
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 2 2009 @ 8:59AMJulia was fantastic; just saw it last week and was really impressed with TS.
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 2 2009 @ 11:44AMI've seen NINE and Marion Cotillard is extraordinary it it. She's the emotional center of the movie. Her rendition of "My Husband Makes Movies" gave me chills and a lump in my throat. She will be pushed for Best Actress and if anybody argues she doesn't have enough screen time all that would need to be done is to bring up Nicole Kidman's screen time in THE HOURS.
