For sooth!

The soothsaying continues ad nauseum (we're just the messenger here), so see how your faves stack up to the picks of a couple of longtime Oscar watchers.

Dave Karger at Entertainment Weekly -- you may remember him from the recent nails-on-a-chalkboard Golden Globes press conference -- likes "Atonement" and "Michael Clayton" over "Into the Wild" and "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" for best picture, gives nods to Johnny Depp and Ryan Gosling that are probably pipe dreams, and sees potential history being made with three women in the running for original screenplay.

Scott Feinberg from AndTheWinnerIs thinks Cate Blachett will indeed go two-fer (nods for best actress and supporting), tosses Frank Langella and Viggo Mortensen into the best actor mix, and says "There Will Be Blood" and "Into the Wild" will tie for the most nominations (eight apiece).

And since you're probably just dying to tell the world about your own choices, check back here next week for a special Nielsen-sanctioned contest. Because our deep-pocketed corporate overlord is involved, that means there will be prizes. Swag, we say!
