Best Picture: , in a deserved victory.

Best Actress: Kate Winslet.

Best Supporting Actor: No doubt- this one goes to Ledger for his stunning, groundbreaking work: he’s created the all-time classic movie villain.

Best Supporting Actress: Taraji P. Henson, for her excellent performance in “Benjamin Button.” Although Viola Davis has a good shot too.

Best Score: ‘s terrific “Slumdog” score.

If you can’t tell, I loved “Slumdog,” and I expect it to be the night’s big winner. How about you? And are you excited for PMA’s first live blog?

Penelope Cruz has got it in the bag. Taraji, i love her, but not happening.

Also, maybe you can answer why the EFF Zac Efron is presenting an oscar?
Might as well have Paris Hilton and The Twilight guy….

God, the world really is ending.

I totally agree with you on Ledger for best supporting actor, and I’m really starting to wish I’d seen “Slumdog Millionaire.” My nomination for best live action short film would have to be “New Boy.” I’m just saying that because it’s a really well-done, touching film.

I hate Zac Efron.

It would be so great if Milk won best picture. I’m so over the Slumdog hype. Milk was better.

I haven’t seen “Milk” yet actually Angela, but I’m sure it would be my favorite or second-favorite based off of what I’ve heard from my good movie friends. I’ve tried and failed a few times to see it, it’s a long story.

And Jared, the live blog will work like this: I’ll set up a new post just as the Awards show starts, and will continue to update it minute-by-minute with my Oscar thoughts…and all of PMA’s loyal followers are invited to watch and comment along with me!

My god lqtm Luis I don`t really care but its Ashley not Angela! I mean for every comment you replace the persons name with a name from the office that starts with the same letter. And i`ve decided to use lqtm instead of lol, it means laughing quietly to myself. More honest. And Milk deserved best picture.
