Oscars-- Thoughts

So, the nominations are out. Here's how I think things should fall into place (although everyone knows the best game is statements like, "the academy really likes [the fourth time around, actors at X in their career, films that came out on a Tuesday, soundtracks with vibraphones, etc.--a game we can play later).

Maybe we can have a little forum about the main categories, one by one?

Best Picture: No Country for Old Men
Best Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis
Best Actress: Laura Linney
Best Supporting Actor: Javier Bardem
Best Supporting Actress: Tilda Swinton
Best Director: PT Anderson
Best Screenplay OG: Juno
Best Screenplay Adapted: No Country for Old Men
Editing: There Will Be Blood
Art Direction: There Will Be Blood
Documentary: No End in Sight
Cinematography: There Will Be Blood
Score: this is such a rip-off, how did There Will Be Blood not get nominated??
Sound Editing: No Country For Old Men
Animated Feature: Persepolis

It is my opinion that the most important technical category is "sound editing." If there is one thing that Antonioni teaches us...
