New York Post's Oscar Predictions

A very different list from Lou Lumenick at the New York Post.  I don't know much about The Good German, except that it stars Clooney and is directed by Steven Soderberg.   It's on my 20 to see.

His Best Actor predictions, other than Whittaker and perhaps Clooney and Norton (although I think that would be one hell of a longshot) don't make a lick of sense.

BEST PICTURE
1. "Flags of Our Fathers"
2. "Dreamgirls" *
3. "Babel"
4. "The Good German"
5. "The Queen"

BEST ACTOR
1. George Clooney, "The Good German"
2. S.B. Cohen, "Borat"
3. Forrest Whitaker, "The Last King of Scotland"
4. Edward Norton, "The Illusionist"
5. Ben Sliney, "United 93"

BEST ACTRESS
1. Helen Mirren, "The Queen"
2. Kate Winslet, "Little Children"
3. Penelope Cruz, "Volver"
4. Meryl Streep, "The Devil Wears Prada"
5. Anette Bening, "Running with Scissors"

Bipartisan virtue
