Like many previous years, Oscar is always bleak and top box office movies like Transformers and Spider-man 3 and The Simpsons have not been included.
Anyways, from the list of nominees, it’s tough to predict the winners except for Ratatouille for the Animated Feature Film category. However, I have a very strong instinct that Saoirse Ronan will win the Best Supporting Actress category for her role in Atonement. What’s your prediction?
We’ll give away two movie tickets (or $10 Paypal, if you live outside Malaysia) if you can manage to predict the winners for every category above. So, guess right away!
