The 2008 Academy Awards - Predictions

It's that time of year again to predict the Oscar winners. Here we go...

Best Picture - No Country for Old Men

Personally, I enjoyed Juno more, was more fascinated with Michael Clayton, in awe of the performance by Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood and liked the storytelling of Atonement. No Country for Old Men however works on so many levels, it pretty much is a complete movie.
