BFCA Winners

<-- Brad & Angelina worked old school Hollywood glamour for the BFCA show though neither emerged as a winner. (They got the most camera time, too, with Marisa Tomei and Anne Hathaway trailing just behind)

The wins:

Picture, Director, Score, Screenplay, Young Actor: Slumdog Millionaire
Animated: WALL•E
Documentary:
Man on Wire
Foreign Film:
Waltz With Bashir
Comedy:
Tropic Thunder
TV Movie: John Adams
Action:
The Dark Knight
Song: "The Wrestler" Bruce Springsteen
Actor & Acting Ensemble:
Sean Penn and the cast of Milk
Actress: (tie) Anne Hathaway for Rachel Getting Married and Meryl Streep for Doubt... an attempt at a Devil Wears Prada reunion. Good instincts there, BFCA, except Meryl didn't show. Nevertheless, it was surely the highlight. WATCH IT HERE. Viola Davis accepted for Streep and was wonderful.
Supporting Actor: Heath Ledger for The Dark Knight
Supporting Actress: Kate Winslet for The Reader

The BFCA prides themselves on being strong Oscar predictors, so these are obviously the films and performances they think will take gold. Do you think these will repeat? Or more pointedly... which won't?
