Munich is so good I would've thought for sure the academy would forget about it as have other awards shows. Plus, the academy has some weird love/hate/resentment thing with Spielberg.Other than that Munich, no surprises for the major categories:
Best Picture-
Good Night, and Good Luck
Brokeback Mountain
Munich
Capote
Crash
If Brokeback Mountain wins Best Picture it would be the first time since 1980's Ordinary People an Oscar winner for the top prize was not a Film Editing nominee.
Best Director-
All the directors of the Best Picture nominees
In a rare move, the academy matches Picture and Director noms exactly...1982 was the last time this happened.
Best Actor-
Joaquin Phoenix, Walk the Line
Heath Ledger, Brokeback
Philip S.H., Capote
David Strathairn, GN&GL
Terrence Howard, Hustle&Flow
I knew Terrence Howard would get in somewhere but wasn't sure where, and for what movie.
Best Actress-
Charlize Theron, North Country
Felicity Huffman, Transamerica
Reese Witherspoon, WtL
Judi Dench, Mrs. Henderson Presents
Keira Knightley, Pride and Prejudice
No surprises...the academy loves the British but Reese has it no matter what.
Best Supporting Actor-
William Hurt, A History of Violence
George Clooney, Syriana
Paul Giamatti, Cinderella Man
Matt Dillon, Crash
Jake G., Brokeback
Nothing surprising.
Best Supporting Actress-
Frances McDormand, North Country
Michelle Williams, Brokeback
Amy Adams, Junebug
Rachel Weisz, The Constant Gardener
Catherine Keener, Capote
Nothing surprising.

Don't count on Reese being the surefire winner. Felicity Hoffman may win. There is actually a big surprise in the supporting actress category - Amy Adams.
