My two oscar-gilded cents

First off, if you want to see some clips of the nominated movies, actors, and actresses take a gander over here. The kind folks over at yahoo movies have compiled it all.
Anyway, I have my picks for the major awards doled out tonight.
The ones I want to win:
Movie: Sideways
Actor: Don Cheadle, for "Hotel Rwanda"
Actress: Kate Winslet, for "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"
Supporting Actor: Thomas Haden Church, for "Sideways"
Supporting Actress: Virginia Madsen, for "Sideways"
Director: Martin Scorcese, for "The Aviator"

However, how often do I ever get what I want?! Here's who I think will win:
Movie: Million Dollar Baby
Actor: Jamie Foxx
Actress: Annette Bening, for "Being Julia"
Supporting Actor: Morgan Freeman, for "Million Dollar Baby"
Supporting Actress: Virgina Madsen, for "Sideways"
Director: Clint Eastwood, "Million Dollar Baby"

I haven't seen "Million Dollar Baby" yet, but I'll be pissed if it does a run on the awards. It's one of those movies they just throw awards at because they just love Clint Eastwood. Maybe it deserves it...I guess I should watch it before I rant.

This has been a pretty good year for movies.
My favorite 5:
1) Sideways
2) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
3) Hotel Rwanda
4) Ray
5) Garden State
