Best Picture:
The Social Network
Maybe Harvey Weinstein has been throwing his considerable weight around as he so often has and pushed The Kings Speech ahead but I still think we will see The Social Network take this one.
Directing:
David Fincher
He's due one. An impressive body of work, the Coens won recently, Russell isn't well liked and Hopper is new to the scene. Aronofsky is the only real competion but I feel this is Fincher's year.
Actor in a leading role:
Colin Firth
Actress in a leading role:
Natalie Portman
I think both Actor and Actress are a given this year.
Actor is a supporting role:
Geoffrey Rush
Actress in a supporting role:
Hailee Steinfeld
I have a feeling the evening's biggest shock will come in from one of the above winning.
Animated Film:
Toy Story 3
Should be more of a contender for Best Picture in a perfect weorld
Documentary Feature:
Exit Through The Gift Shop
Everyone in the academy votes so in a category such as this the biggest name is always going to win out; unless they have offended Hollywood ala Michael Moore. More important documetaries in the nominees but this is a brilliant film none the less.
Writing (Adapted Screenplay):
The Social Network
Aaron Sorkin; everyone loves him. He'll win.
Writing (Original)
Inception
This will be the consoltation prize after not getting the director nod for Nolan
Visual Effects
Inception
Even the haters won't be able to dismiss this was the most visually impressive film of the year.
