The ceremony approaches, and everyone wants me to make predictions: I was on CTV Newsnet Friday morning, and went straight from the studio to the NOW offices to record a podcast with Susan and Glenn, and I’ll be live-blogging the action somewhere at NOW Daily tonight.

Will “Slumdog Millionaire” take the big prize? Will “The Reader” snatch it away at the last minute? Are any of the other three films — “Frost/Nixon”, “Milk” and “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” — still in contention?

Well, I don’t know. But it’ll be fun to find out, right?
