My predictions: The Golden Age, Hairspray, and Sweeney Todd.

I can see Todd taking this, but Elizabeth taking Costume as consellation.

I agree Cam. And it's the kind of obvious makeup up trick that will be nominated and probably win. A lot of times Oscar voters confuse "most" with "best."

My predictions are Hairspray, Sweeney Todd and Pirates.

Depp vs Travolta -- in ANY competition of "cool" or "relevant" -- Depp wins.

Yeah, I *guess* Sweeney Todd. Burton went to all sorts of trouble to make everybody as ugly/ tubercular as possible.

If there is any justice, La Vie en Rose will receive a nomination in this category.

But there probably won't be, and Marion Cotillard will receive all the credit for transforming herself (like Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron) while her makeup artists are left on the sidelines.

Well, it's been a bit of a head scratcher because so many films are leaning towards CGI monsters and foregoing the wonderful jobs created by great make-up effects artists, but for the few that I've see (mostly heard about), I am going out on a limb as to predicting these seven films to be the finalists for Best Make-Up:

Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Enchanted
Evan Almighty
Hairspray
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
Sweeney Todd
300

And from those, 300, Hairspray and Sweeney Todd would be nominated with 300 winning. Were there any other films anyone feels I left out?
