Okay, from your dream ballot it seems only a handful of movies are in contention, and keeping in mind that I've only seen two of the contenders (Inglourious Basterds and Up) I cannot make my selection. I'd like to see Kathryn get best director, simply because she directed Near Dark. I have yet to see The Hurt Locker, as it hasn't opened in Australia yet. I thought Inglourious Basterds was the best movie Tarantino's made since Pulp Fiction. I think Christophe Waltz should get the Best Actor for his performance as the Nazi SS officer. It was superb. I think Zoe Saldana from Avatar should be up for Best Actress, I think Best Screenplay should go to District 9, along with Best Special Effects and Best Cinematography. Best Art Direction and Sound Design should go to Avatar, although District 9 has great sound design also.
That's about all I'm good for.
I'll probably watch Up in the Air and A Serious Man when they come out on DVD, and despite loving the books as a child, I'm not that fussed on either Fantastic Mr Fox, nor Where the Wild Things Are.
