The following are my final predictions on who will win the Oscars this year. Unlike previous years where I supported a wide array of films in different categories, I think this year the two main winners will be "No Country For Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood". I do hope that the ceremony can go ahead as scheduled and that some agreement can be made with the striking Writers Guild.
