Probably not. But many sites have shared their opinion on the controversial list released by http://2009leaked.blogspot.com/:

Actor in a leading role: Mickey Rourke
Actor in a supporting role:
Actress in a leading role: Kate Winslet
Actress in a supporting role: Amy Adams
Animated Feature Film: Wall-E
Art Direction:
Cinematography:
Costume Design: The Curious Case of
Directing: Slumdog Millionaire
Documentary feature: Man on Wire
Documentary short: The Conscience of Nhem En
Film editing: Milk
Foreign language film: Departures
Makeup: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Music (Score): Defiance
Music (Song): Down to Earth (Wall-E)
Best Picture: Slumdog Millionaire
Short film (animated): Presto
Short film (live action): Auf Der Strecke (On The Line)
Sound editing: Wall-E

Almost everyone seems to believe that this is a fake, but very accurate prediction of what’s to come for Oscar Sunday. Aside from Amy Adams’ supposed victory, the list really does seem dead-on. The only thing it doesn’t predict well, in my opinion, is Hugh Jackman’s inevitable mediocre job as host. I like the guy, but Jon Stewart is much funnier- he should be the new yearly lock. Whatever. Comment on the list, and share YOUR predictions below.

Wow, hadn’t heard about this, thanks! But if this really is the official list, then the Oscars have left me incredibly disappointed. But that was almost inevitable. Iron Man for visual effects? Geez, Benjamin Button has to win there, in my opinion. And since the Academy seems to love Benjamin Button, I have little doubt it’ll win, meaning, for me, this list is fake.

Won’t believe it because they don’t have A.R. Rahman winning best score.
