Oscars! Final Predictions [Design]


Art Direction


"American Gangster"

"Atonement"
"The Golden Compass"
"Sweeney Todd"
"There Will Be Blood"


Should Win: As much as I love Ferretti's wacky throwback to a murky-looking London, Atonement's got my vote for this award as well. So elaborate. Even the wallpaper!


Will Win: I don't know. Sweeney has the most overtly theatrical set, Atonement has the true period factor, and Blood has a lot of its set burned down. If the other awards work out the way I think they will, this could be There Will Be Blood's only real chance at a technical prize, and so I'll go for that.




Costume Design

"Across The Universe"
"Atonement"
"Elizabeth: The Golden Age"
"La Vie En Rose"
"Sweeney Todd"


Should Win: THE GREEN DRESS!


Will Win: THE GREEN DRESS!



Make Up

"La Vie En Rose"
"Norbit"
"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End"


Should Win: Meh.


Will Win: Probably La Vie En Rose, since Cotillard herself is such a beauty that the scenes in which she is old do tend to make you wonder how long she had to be prepared before work every morning.
