BEST ANIMATED FILM NOMINATION PREDICTIONS

FINAL PREDICTION COMMENTS: Last minute dropping of Chicken Little for Madagascar, other than that, still hoping for Howl to move in and prove me wrong (I never thought Spirited Away would win the Oscar in 2002, but I was happily surprised - although that was a much better film).

BEST DOCUMENTARY NOMINATION PREDICTIONS

FINAL PREDICTION COMMENTS: Penguins, Murderball, Enron & Ballroom should be locks - but with this category you never know. But if they are - and I am saying they are - that leaves the fifth spot quandry. It could one of at least seven films, so who the Hell knows at this point - they didn't even shortlist the most critically acclaimed doc of the year - Grizzly Man - so it could be a bunch of surprises come Tuesday Morn.

MARCH OF THE PENGUINS		 2.
(2)(2)
MAD HOT BALLROOM		 3.
(3)(6)
MURDERBALL		 4.

BEST ANIMATED SHORT FILM NOM PREDICTIONS

FINAL PREDICTION COMMENTS: This is a categroy I have never tried to predict before, but here I go anyway. Most of the information on this category come from Nathaniel over at Film Experience. "9" is poised to become a feature film next year, "One Man Band" is from Pixar, "The Karate Guard" is from an animation legend (Joseph Babera of Hanna/Barbera fame), "Moongirl" is from the director of A Nightmare Before Christmas and "The Mysterious Life..." is winning awards all over the globe, so those three are the likeliest picks. There will eventually be either three or five nominees, so the following are in order.

9 One Man Band The Karate Guard The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello Moongirl

At the Quinte Hotel
A Christmas Caper
City Paradise
The Fan and the Flower
Jona/Tomberry
