i think peter o'toole will win it because its his last big chance, plus he has been nominated 11 times or something already.

I'd like to think O'Toole and Scorsese will get the Oscar this year, since the pair of them have been overlooked so often when they should have won. Still apparantly the music composer that has been nominated for Apocolyptico is now up for his 19th Oscar, sadly he has yet to win one though!
