So the Academy Awards were announced this morning:

Here's what I'm hoping for:

Best Picture: Either District 9 or Up
Best Animated Feature Film: Up (or The Princess and the Frog, but Up's a sure-win)
Art Direction: Either Avatar or The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
Cinematography: Avatar
Costume Design: The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
Directing: Inglourious Basterds
Film Editing: Avatar, District 9, or Inglourious Basterds
Music (original score): Up
Music (original song): Down in New Orleans (The Princess and the Frog)
Sound Editing: Up
Visual Effects: ...You know what, I'm actually not sure about this one...
Writing (Adapted Screenplay): Disctrict 9
Writing (Original Screenplay): Up

Everything else, I'm either not sure about, or don't care about. So, yeah, you can probably tell what are my favorites.

((If there already is a topic about this, please direct me to it.))

I haven't actually seen any of these movies besides seeing a portion of Inglourious Basterds, so I don't have a real opinion.

Not even Up? It's amazing!
