My Oscar Picks - What A Great Year It's Been!

So, first of all I must confess I still haven't seen all nominated movies - mostly because some of them are still sold out - we managed it just yesterday to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button! Even though I wouldn't call myself a Brad Pitt fan, I think he did a great job and I can absolutely understand why he and the movie are nominated. 
It isn't my Oscar pick though - my favorite movie of the year was: FROST/NIXON and I would love to see Frank Langalla winning the Oscar for best actor in a leading role. Or Sean Penn (who is actually one of my favorite actors) for Milk
I think, however, that Slumdog Millionaire is going to win best picture - it's a truly touching and well-done movie with a killer soundtrack - so that's my best music pick. 
The Oscar for best supporting actor should go to the late Heath Ledger - his Joker portrayal scared the crap out of me! ;) 
As for the ladies I can't really say whose going to win as I have seen only Angelina Jolie in Changeling (I was told it was leaked she's going to win, but who knows...) and Taraji P. Henson in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Well, that's my Oscar picks for this year! If anyone would like to share their favorite movies with me (nominated or not) please feel free to do so! I appreciate any recommendations! ;)
