79th Annual Academy Awards

So I am not going to pick in every category because there are way to many. Plus I really do not care about a lot of the categories so I am reserving the right to pick the winners in only the ones I want to. As always my picks will be in italics and the winners will be in bold.

ETA: I was really bad at this one! I'm glad the Academy finally woke up and gave Scorsese an award.
