BEST DIRECTOR -
And the nominees are… Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan) Joel & Ethan Coen (True Grit) David Fincher (The Social Network) Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech) David O. Russell (The Fighter) Again, I think that this is a battle between The King’s Speech and The Social Network. While Hooper won the DGA Award, Fincher came out tops at the BAFTAs and I think that we may have a Best...

BEST ACTOR -
And the nominees are - Javier Bardem (Biutiful) Jeff Bridges (True Grit) Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network) Colin Firth (The King’s Speech) James Franco (127 Hours) To keep it short - Colin Firth. That’s it. Congratulations! Should Have Been A Contender - Ryan Gosling (Blue Valentine)

BEST ACTRESS -
And the nominees are - Annette Bening (The Kids Are All Right) Nicole Kidman (Rabbit Hole) Jennifer Lawrence (Winter’s Bone) Natalie Portman (Black Swan) Michelle Williams (Blue Valentine) Since the beginning of awards season, this has been dubbed as the battle between Bening and Portman. However with a SAG, BAFTA, Critic’s Choice Award, Golden Globe, Film Independent Spirit...

BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM -
And the nominees are - Biutiful Dogtooth Incendies In A Better World Outside The Law The highest profile of these nominees is Biutiful whose star Javier Bardem garnered a Best Actor nomination for this performance. However, having received some mixed reviews and failing to win any major awards, I’ll be surprised if Biutiful wins tonight. I think that the race is between Canada’s...

jonganahl asked: Dear Sir,
Thank you for all the insights into how you think the night is going to play out. Are you going to be posting thoughts on sound editing/mixing? I would love to get your thoughts on this particular category.

BEST DOCUMENTARY -
And the nominees are - Exit Through The Gift Shop Gasland Inside Job Restrepo Waste Land I think that everyone is rooting for a win from Exit Through The Gift Shop tonight, if only to see if/how the enigmatic artist Banksy accepts his award. In reality, I am calling this award to go to Inside Job, the devastating exposé on the Wall Street bankers that caused the recent economic collapse....

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS -
And the nominees are - Amy Adams (The Fighter) Helena Bonham-Carter (The King’s Speech) Melissa Leo (The Fighter) Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit) Jacki Weaver (Animal Kingdom) Melissa Leo, having won the SAG, Golden Globe and Critic’s Choice Award, would seem to be in pole position to take home the statuette tonight. However, there have been whispers of a backlash against Leo, in...

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR -
And the nominees are - Christian Bale (The Fighter) John Hawkes (Winter’s Bone) Jeremy Renner (The Town) Mark Ruffalo (The Kids Are All Right) Geoffrey Rush (The King’s Speech) This award is Christian Bale’s to lose. Having won the SAG, Critic’s Choice Award and Golden Globe, I think it’s a safe bet to assume that Bale will walk away with his first Academy Award...

BEST ORIGINAL SCORE -
And the nominees are - Alexandre Desplat - The King’s Speech John Powell - How To Train Your Dragon A.R. Rahman - 127 Hours Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross - The Social Network Hans Zimmer - Inception This is actually a difficult race to call. While Reznor & Ross’s score has been the critic’s choice all season and won the Golden Globe, it’s hard to know whether...

BEST EDITING -
And the nominees are - Tariq Anwar (The King’s Speech) Kirk Baxter and Angus Wall (The Social Network) Jon Harris - 127 Hours Pamela Martin (The Fighter) Andrew Weisblum (Black Swan) The general consensus is that this award belongs to The Social Network and having won the BAFTA and ACE Award, it’s difficult to see it going any other way. Baxter and Wall were previously...

BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY -
And the nominees are… Danny Cohen - The King’s Speech Jeff Cronenweth - The Social Network Roger Deakins - True Grit Matthew Libatique - Black Swan Wally Pfister - Inception I think this race is going to come between veteran cinematographer and nine-time Oscar nominee Roger Deakins and Wally Pfister. Danny Cohen is conceivably a contender if The King’s Speech is in for a...
