Mr. Smithee: I will agree with you except that Wahlberg will get Supporting Actor, O’Toole will get his long deserved Best Actor, and Best Picture will be Letters from Iwo Jima. Jennifer Hudson will be GIVEN the Supporting Actress award but will win on the basis of her singiing ability only. If Cate did not have an AA already, she would get it hands down. Scorsese deserves best director on a less than best movie. The movie was good but it’s been done before. The players were better than the script.

You seem to underestimate Happy Feet. Cars is the consensus but don’t overlook a possible upset.
