Costume Design: Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Directing: No Country for Old Men
Documentary Feature: War/Dance
Documentary Short: Salim Baba
Film Editing: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Foreign Language Film: Katyn (should be The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, which probably wasn’t nominated because it was directed by American Julian Schnabel. Oh well.)

Who knows how wrong I’ll be with all my predictions once the Oscars are over tonight. I won’t know for awhile since I’ve got work at the dining halls through all of it. However, I hope that The Diving Bell and the Butterfly garners a few awards. I saw it last night with a friend and wasn’t disappointed.
You can check out all the nominees to tonight’s event here.

I guess I wasn’t too off with most of my predictions aside from wrongly pushing for The Diving Bell and the Butterfly in every category in which it was nominated. I can’t believe Transformers didn’t win anything though.
