Well it looks like critics like "No Country for Old Men", so the voting will probably follow the NBR's picks to some degree:
My predix:
Best pic: "No Country for Old Men"
Best Director: This could be a tossup between three directors: Tim Burton, Julian Schnabel, and the Coen Brothers. I predict that Schnabel will win for "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly".
Best Original Screenplay: It's almost a given that Diablo Cody will win for "Juno".
Best Actress: Critics could give Marion Cotillard a break and award her on this one, but I don't think so. I predict that Julie Christie will score another win for "Away From Her".
Best Actor: This is a tough call. Johnny Depp is tremendously popular in Hollywood, so there could be chance he could win for "Sweeney Todd". However, George Clooney's win with the NBR says a lot, so I predict that Clooney will win for "Michael Clayton"
Best Supporting Actor: Voters may feel that Tommy Lee Jones got a raw deal this year. I predict that he will win over Javier Bardem in "No Country for Old Men".
Best Supporting Actress: This is the toughest category yet. Will voters feel sympathy for Cate Blanchett? Will they add to Amy Ryan's NBR win? Or will they decide to give Ruby Dee an award for the largely shut out "American Gangster"? I predict that there will be a tie in this category, with Ryan and Dee sharing this award.
