And the predictions aren't...

Tomorrow, January 31, the nominations for the 78th annual Academy Awards will be loosed upon the world. Last year we did a comprehensive nomination prediction post. This year, we're totally phoning it in. So...

For best picture, our predictions are...
Brokeback Mountain
Capote
Walk the Line
Good Night, and Good Luck
The Constant Gardener

Actor...
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Heath Ledger
Joaquin Phoenix
Terrence Howard
David Strathairn

Actress...
Felicity Huffman
Reese Witherspoon
Judi Dench
Maria Bello
Ziyi Zhang

That's about all we can stomach. Lie. That's more than we can stomach. Could anything be less exciting? They're gonna need to bring back some Debbie Allen singin' and dancin' to get us even mildly interested again. Otherwise, wake us when it's over or at least when Reese Witherspoon's forehead has its own spinoff.

Wait—are they broadcasting in HD this year? That could change everything...
