Darren: not sure Crash will win.
I suspect they will give the “Best Picture” Oscar to Brokeback Mountain. Otherwise, i agree with your predictions

Todd: Note that I’m talking about who will win, not who should win. The Academy is rarely controversial, so I figure they’re likelier to go with the-movie-about-race than the-movie-about-gay-cowboys.
