With the 81st annual Academy Awards airing this Sunday, we've decided to bring you who will be bringing home that coveted trophy this weekend.

The races to watch are definitely the acting roles. Lead actor will be a toss up between Sean Penn and Mickey Rourke, actress between Kate Winslet and Meryl Streep, and the supporting actress has enough talented ladies that I could see any of them walking away with the gold.
