Ok, here are my fearless predictions for all but one of the categories you mentioned, because I know nothing about the animated features.

Actor - George Clooney
Supporting Actor - Tom Wilkinson
Actress - Julie Christie
Supporting Actress - Cate Blanchett
Best Motion Picture - Juno

I have no real reasons for any of my choices other than some of the "scuttlebut" I've heard and read. George Clooney is my personal choice because I like him a lot but I've also heard he's a favorite. The best actor category is really a tough one this year!
