Well, it's been a pretty good selection this year, actually - Reese Witherspoon won for Walk the Line, which was unexpected (she's very good in it), and the Wallace and Gromit film won Best British Film (yay!). Brokeback Mountain swept it (I still haven't seen it), which I suppose was expected.
Oscar predictions? I haven't seen Crash and Capote isn't out yet, but I suspect Brokeback will take Best Picture too (the BAFTAs and AMPAS membership overlap considerably.) Munich is the best film out of the list I've seen. Witherspoon should get Best Actress, W&G should get best animated (but I wouldn't mind if Miyazaki got it either) and Robert Altman should have got his Oscar a long time back, but at least gets an honorary one. Looks to be a pretty boring year - too few choices.
And, in non-movie related news... Andy Murray won his first ATP Tour title. Against Lleyton Hewitt. 2-6, 6-1, 7-6. Having beaten Andy Roddick already. Damn, he's getting better quickly, isn't he?
