Official Oscar Predictions

Okay here goes! It seems as though almost all Oscar experts are predicting the same five movies and performances in the main categories. So for my predictions should I play safe or go for broke and predict shockers in each category? Well I will play it safe with most categories (because I can't really see them playing out in any other way) and go for broke by saying WALL E gets into Best Picture. Sound the horns and without further ado here are my official 2008 Oscar Nomination predictions:
