Well the 79th Academy Awards nominees have been announced, and if this editor doesn't crash on me again I'll get them written out and posted. Below (or over the page) you'll see the entire list of nominees for every category.

I've also added my predictions to win which are highlighted in italics. So why don't you have a look through and see if there are any surprises for you, and after that why not make your own list of who you think will win, and then we can compare after the Oscars and see who came closest to across the board.

You know, it might be fun to add in a little prize too. What do you think, worth a competition? Here's the list...

I've avoided a few categories because I really have no idea, I've also taken a couple of wild guesses and actually chosen who I really would like to win rather than who I genuinely think might...still, that's my list.

So, surprises? Now make your predictions and let's see come awards time.
