What's the chance of "Sunshine"? "In this current environment, people want something that's sort of funny." Other picks: Whitaker, Mirren, Hudson.

"Forest Whitaker cannot be beat. I feel sorry for Peter O'Toole, but he cannot beat Forest Whitaker. . . . Meryl Streep was off the hook, but I have to go with Helen Mirren." Best Picture: "Dreamgirls." "I won't vote for anything else. It's a shame it's not [nominated]."

Michelle Fenty , first lady of D.C.

For Best Actress, would love to see Streep win. "I made Adrian watch ['The Devil Wears Prada'] and he enjoyed it." But she predicts Mirren, and "The Queen" for Best Picture. Supporting Actress: Hudson. "This is great revenge to Simon Cowell."

"The Departed" "because a) it's American, b) it's in English, and c) it doesn't have Greg Kinnear." Director: "The card will say 'Alejandro González Iñárritu,' but whoever's reading it will say 'Clint Eastwood.' "
