Predictions for the big awards (fuck the tech ones)

Best Picture.. King's Speech will win to the shock of all.

Best Actor.. Colin Firth

Best Actress.. Benning just because its her time and her husband is fucking Warren Beatty.

Supporting Actor.. Bale finally wins for putting his body through hell twice.

Actress... Melissa Leo

Director.. Fincher takes it.

I didn't post it cause I am not at all excited for the Oscars this year apart from Bale finally getting nomination and more than likely winning it.

Best Supporting Actress- Jacki Weaver- have to support a fellow Aussie + she was brilliant
Best Picture- The Social Network
Best Director- Tom Hooper

[Gary]

Thing about the Oscars..it very very political, if we think WWE is bad Oscars are worse. Its why I think Beatty will have a LOT of influence in the Best Actress Category.

Like a lot of people, I was surprised that Chris Nolan didn't get a Best Director nomination, though I believe he will pick up the gong for Best Original Screenplay. Aaron Sorkin should get the nod for Best Adapted Screenplay, but I wouldn't be shocked if it went to the Coens.

Of the nominated directors, I reckon Fincher might take it, though Aranofsky has a good chance, too. I haven't seen Black Swan yet but I've heard nothing but good things about Natalie Portman's performance. james Franco would seem to be the obvious pick for Best Actor, but with him hosting the ceremony, one must wonder if the Academy will give the nod to Colin Firth or Javier Bardem instead. Christian Bale will probably win Best Supporting Actor but i thought Jeremy Renner did a great job of calling on the spirit of Joe Pesci for The Town. Many are saying Hailee Steinfeld should have been nominated for Best Actress but she may have a stronger chance of taking an award in Best Supporting. At 14, though, she's hardly in a rush.

Restrepo is the only nominated documentary I've seen, but it was one of my top ten movies of last year, so it would be great to see it get some recognition with an Oscar.

Toy Story 3 will probably win Best Animated feature, so don't expect it to win Best Picture. Of the nominees I've seen, I'd pick The Social Network. As much as I enjoyed Inception I feel The Social Network is equally entertaining and has a lot more to say about this generation who are taking advantage of the technological revolution.

Still gutted that Scott Pilgrim Vs the World didn't get a Visual Effects nomination.

[Tim-Æ]

Best Picture race is a toughie this year. All half of them should really be in there - Inception, True Grit, TSN, Black Swan, and the King's Speech. Of those five, Black Swan and True Grit have no shot - only b/c those are actor vehicles, driven more by performance than writing/directing. Inception's in 3rd, despite it being the only original story. TSN and King's Speech tie, it could go to either one. I'd prefer TSN but I'd be okay with King's Speech. Personally I'd rather it go to Inception b/c that was the best movie of the year.

Best Director wise, it's still just between Fincher and Hooper, with Fincher edging him out. Nolan was snubbed.

Best Actor - Colin Firth hands down, but that's only b/c the rest aren't that spectacular. Bridges did well, but not amazing. Franco was watchable but kind of silly too. Eisenberg would be a surprise but is it really an Oscar winning performance? No one has seen Biutiful so Bardem won't win.

Best Actress - Portman, Warren Beatty's influence is not that extensive. He's an Academy voter, but older women are out faster than screenwriters these days. Kidman did well in Rabbit Hole, but Natalie Portman shines more. Benning did okay in a shitty movie.

Supporting Actor - Bale. No competition, except maybe Rush.

Supporting Actress - probably the toughest to call, but I'm gonna lean towards Helena Bonham Carter, but most paths point towards Melissa Leo. Either one would suffice.

Adapted Screenplay - Sorkin, his TSN script is great, flows wonderfully. True Grit was great too, but not as sharp as Sorkins' work.

Original Screenplay - Nolan, he deserves something for the night. King's Speech may surprise, but the recent backlash about it's historical inaccuracy could hurt it's chances.

Nothing else matters.

Im with Tim on all those, although Im betting more on Leo than Carter for best supporting actress.
