Oscars 2006 Predictions

Only a few hours before the nominations for the 2006 Annual Academy awards are announced. So I figured I might as well lay out my predictions. Predicting the nominations for the oscars is not rocket science. Anyone who has been, even casually, following all or any of the other award shows can easily predict nominees and even winners. Also the oscars are quite favorable towards specifically made movies. There is no definite framework but you know when you see a movie whether it is Oscar-worthy or not.
