In the second week of our three-week run-up to the Academy Awards- only three more days!- we surveyed you on your predictions in the lead acting categories. In the hotly-contested Best Actor race, most have predicted a close call between old friends Sean Penn (Milk) and Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler). And you folks predicted them as the front-runners as well, with Rourke finally outpacing Penn, 50% to 30%. Of the other three nominees, Screengrab favorite Richard Jenkins and Frank Langella’s Tony-winning embodiment of Richard Nixon were seen as possible upsets in this category, taking home 10% apiece. And judging by your predictions, Brad Pitt might as well start polishing his “it’s an honor to be nominated” patter, since he didn’t get a single vote.

And speaking Pitt, how are his main squeeze Angelina Jolie’s chances to win Best Actress? Not very good, judging by last week’s poll. Jolie took home a mere 13% of the vote, tying for third place with Academy BFF Meryl Streep. Faring better was Rachel Getting Married’s Anne Hathaway with 20%, but not even she could stop the by-all-accounts-overdue Kate Winslet, who brought in an impressive 53% of the vote. Better luck next time, Melissa Leo.

This week, we bring it home with the poll for Best Picture. Does Slumdog have this sewn up yet, or do the other movies still have a shot?



And just for kicks and grins, let’s predict the Best Director race too. Will this award fall in line with Best Picture as it normally does, or will the voters reward someone else?



Because of the show airing on Sunday, I’ll be closing the poll on Saturday night. As always, the comments section is open. Enjoy this year’s Oscars!
