BEST DIRECTOR
Paul Thomas Anderson, There Will Be Blood
Nearly a clean sweep here for There Will Be Blood, but for some reason I just don't think the Academy Awards are going to really get it-- they have overlooked Anderson many times before, but maybe this one will really hit.

BEST ACTOR
Daniel Day-Lewis, There Will Be Blood

BEST ACTRESS
Ellen Page, Juno

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Javier Bardem, No Country For Old Men

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Allison Janney, Juno
Nice to see this superb actress getting some attention, however since her role in Juno is a bit small, and the Academy's over shadowing of comedic performances, I doubt Janney will really a player-- however her "doctors are sadists-- they like to play God, and watch lesser people scream," line was one of the funniest all year.
