BEST ORIGINAL SCORE
MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA	BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN	THE CONSTANT GARDENER	PRIDE & PREJUDICE	MUNICH
2/5 [40%] NOMINATION PREDICTION RATE / SEE WHO I PREDICTED TO GET NOMINATED
who should win: Brokeback Mountain's score is subtle and simple, yet beautiful and tragic. who will win: Many say John Williams two nominations will cancel each other out and someone else will win, but I'm still going with his score for Memoirs of A Geisha.
and the Oscar goes to... Brokeback Mountain

BEST ORIGINAL SONG
HUSTLE & FLOW	CRASH	TRANSAMERICA
>"It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp"	"In the Deep"	>"Travelin' Thru"
2/3 [67%] NOMINATION PREDICTION RATE / SEE WHO I PREDICTED TO GET NOMINATED
who should win: I'm rooting for Hustle & Flow to get some respect for the pimp. who will win: Although Hustle & Flow could surprise, it will probably be, um Crash, no Transamerica, um no, Crash, wait, Trans...uh, Crash ??? Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!! Let's go with Transamerica (I think).
and the Oscar goes to... Hustle & Flow - although the song, which was enjoyable in the film, sucked royally live on the show.

BEST SOUND
KING KONG	MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA	WAR OF THE WORLDS	CHRONICLES OF NARNIA	WALK THE LINE
3/5 [60%] NOMINATION PREDICTION RATE / SEE WHO I PREDICTED TO GET NOMINATED
who should win: War of the Worlds, although a far less than stellar film, is my bregruding choice here (barely over the Kong). who will win: This will be Walk The Line's second award of the night.
and the Oscar goes to... King Kong

BEST SOUND F/X EDITING

BEST VISUAL F/X
KING KONG	THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA	WAR OF THE WORLDS
2/3 [67%] NOMINATION PREDICTION RATE / SEE WHO I PREDICTED TO GET NOMINATED
who should win: An ironic note: This is the first time that a Star Wars film has failed to be nominated in this category, yet it is probably the best visual effected Star Wars film out of the bunch. King Kong, although fault ridden, is probably the best of the three nominees. who will win: King Kong
and the Oscar goes to... King Kong
