Oscar Ceremony 2008: Biggest Surprises

Oscar Ceremony 2008: Part I
The biggest surprise at the Oscar 2008 ceremony was Javier Bardem’s best supporting actor Oscar win for No Country for Old Men. Joke! (Bardem, shown above next to Jack Nicholson, is not applauding himself.)
The second biggest surprise was Marion Cotillard’s win. I was expecting Julie Christie. In fact, I wanted Julie Christie, though Cotillard (right) was surely just as deserving. Cotillard, who now apparently believes in angels (she said as much in her very emotional acceptance speech), also won the French Academy’s César a couple of nights ago.

Oscar 2008 Predictions: Best Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress

Best Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis, There Will Be Blood
George Clooney (for Michael Clayton) might have been the sentimental favorite for he’s a local Hollywood-ite, while Daniel Day-Lewis (above, with Paul Dano), who plays a ruthless oil baron in There Will Be Blood, is an Englishman living in Ireland. Clooney, however, won an Oscar (for Syriana) a mere two years ago, while Day-Lewis’ SAG win has solidified his position as this year’s front-runner.
 

Best Actress: Julie Christie, Away from Her
Until the SAG Awards, it was a three-lane race: veteran Julie Christie for Away from Her, Marion Cotillard for La Vie en Rose, and Ellen Page for Juno — by far the biggest box-office hit among the films nominated in the best actress category. [...]
