It's that time of year again. Here are my final predictions for the Academy Award Nominations set to be announced tomorrow morning. I've offered a brief commentary in the top six categories as well as 6th place alternates and dark horses. Alternates have been added in all the rest of the categories as well. Stars denote a very early winner prediction.

Best Picture
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Frost/Nixon
Milk
Slumdog Millionaire*
The Dark Knight

6th: Wall*E
Dark Horse: The Wrestler

These are the five that have been bandied about during the past awards season most often. The Dark Knight seems too culturally monolithic to be left off the list. If it does, however, look for Wall*E to be the beneficiary. It will take a lot to knock Slumdog Millionaire off a seemingly unfettered path to Best Picture gold.

Best Director
Darren Aronofsky, The Wrestler
Danny Boyle, Slumdog Millionaire*
David Fincher, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Christopher Nolan, The Dark Knight
Gus van Sant, Milk

6th: Ron Howard, Frost/Nixon
Dark Horse: Stephen Daldry, The Reader

Picture/Director rarely match up five-for-five and, in recent years, this category has made way for several interesting choices. I think this year's will be Aronofsky for his fantastic work in The Wrestler.

Best Actor
Clint Eastwood, Gran Torino
Richard Jenkins, The Visitor
Frank Langella, Frost/Nixon
Sean Penn, Milk
Mickey Rourke, The Wrestler*

6th: Brad Pitt, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Dark Horse: Leonardo DiCaprio, Revolutionary Road

There doesn't seem to be enough passion for Pitt's performance although multiple nods for his film could easily sweep him in. It's Penn versus Rourke for the win with the three older veterans bringing up the rear. Richard Jenkins gets in on the strength of The Original BJ's "bird-in-the-hand" rule. Those leaving off Clint Eastwood for a swansong performance are not being entirely realistic. DiCaprio's fantastic performance in Revolutionary Road could also find its way in.

Best Actress
Cate Blanchett, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Anne Hathaway, Rachel Getting Married
Sally Hawkins, Happy-Go-Lucky*
Meryl Streep, Doubt
Kate Winslet, Revolutionary Road

6th: Angelina Jolie, Changeling
Dark Horse: Melissa Leo, Frozen River OR Michelle Williams, Wendy and Lucy

Hathaway, Hawkins, Streep and Winslet seem assured spots tomorrow morning. Jolie could easily take her spot with all the necessary precursors. Michelle Williams is apparently phenomenal in a little-seen film (Wendy and Lucy) and with sentiment for Ledger on high, we can't count her out to be penciled in alongside him. My hope for a surprise Cate Blanchett nomination doesn't seem to be gaining the necessary traction, but I'm keeping her in there nonetheless. She was the unsung hero of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button -- a simply, luminous performance.

Best Supporting Actor
James Brolin, Milk
Philip Seymour Hoffman, Doubt
Heath Ledger, The Dark Knight*
Eddie Marsan, Happy-Go-Lucky
Robert Downey Jr., Tropic Thunder

6th: James Franco, Milk
Dark Horse: Michael Shannon, Revolutionary Road

A category that has cemented along the likes of Brolin, Hoffman, Ledger and Downey, Jr. for awhile now. The fifth spot goes to Marsan who is just as good as Hawkins in Happy-Go-Lucky. Shannon could benefit from seeing through the artifice right alongside Winslet's character in Revolutionary Road. The Oscar is obviously Ledger's to lose. I believe that Slumdog will go into the Best Picture race without any acting nominations although, if it does, it will be Dev Patel who'll show up here instead of lead.

Best Supporting Actress
Penelope Cruz, Vicky Christina Barcelona
Viola Davis, Doubt*
Taraji P. Henson, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Marisa Tomei, The Wrestler
Kate Winslet, The Reader

6th: Amy Adams, Doubt
Dark Horse: Samantha Morton, Synecdoche, New York

Cruz and Davis seem like locks with Tomei and Winslet also coming into tomorrow morning quite strong. Something tells me that Amy Adams will get left off her for the final nods, thus benefitting Henson who rides a Benjamin Button type wave to a nomination. If enough people had seen Synecdoche, Morton's placement would be a no-brainer here. Davis could pull a Beatrice Straight (Network) type win here.

With only nine films from which to choose, it shouldn't be hard to blindly pick them. But, I suggest just reading up on the films themselves (I believe they are all on imdb) and using that information and their placement in other precursors as a way to justify your placements.

You can also read my predictions and see what I say about them. :)

Well, there are only 3 people that don't have the 'Foreign Film' category in their predictions, and at least 2 of them will add it by midnight. So i would suggest to add it as well in order for everyone to have 20 categories.
