Actor: Mickey Rourke for “The Wrestler”
Actress: Kate Winslet for “The Reader”
Supporting Actor: Heath Ledger for “The Dark Knight”

Best Original Song: “Down to Earth” by Peter Gabriel and Thomas Newman for WALL-E. Two reasons, one it is a great song and has been a front runner for a long time and 2. Slumdog holds the other two songs causing a vote split very much like what John Williams suffered from in 2005 with “Munich” and “Memoirs of a Geisha”.
Original Score- Thomas Newman for WALL-E is my hearts choice and it stands a good chance. This will be my prediction because I can’t tear myself from it but don’t be surprised if Slumdog pulls this category too.
Cinematography- I love Roger Deakins and he did a good job with “The Reader” but I just have this feeling it’s going to “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”
Editing- The Dark Knight
Best Documentary Feature: Man on Wire
Best Documentary Short: The Witness

Sincerely,
The Scarlet Rebel
