Best Picture: I would love to see Up win but lets face it, it has a snowball's chance in hell. Speaking of hot places I hope the Hurt Locker wins. However, the film hasn't gotten a lot of public buzz and may be overwhelmed by the hype of Avatar.
Best Actress: This thing is a freaking toss up. After getting screwed over the last two years Meryl Streep may get a "make up" Oscar for Julie and Julia, which is a far less impressive performance then what she pulled off in Doubt and the Devil Wears Prada. Hellen Merian is a always a favorite in this category and I can see this category being used to recognize "An Education". Personally, I am rooting for Gaby Sidibe or Sandra Bullock.
Best Actor: Micahel Stuhlbarg! How did this guy NOT get nominated for his performance in A Serious Man! so upset about this. There will be serious buzz for Jeremy Renner and Colin Firth (deservingly so) but I think this one is headed Jeff Bridge's way.
Supporting Actor: Christopher Waltz - no one else even needs to show up.
Supporting Actress: Monique (I hope she refers to the other nominees as "skinny bitches").
Director: Kathryn Bigelow. I really hope James Cameron doesn't win for this one. I don't know why. I know he did is amazing things with regards to redefining film making but directing is about being able to tell a story and thats what Ms. Bigelow does in the Hurt Locker.
Screenplay Original: A Serious Man (one of my top four favorite movies of the year)
Screenplay Adapted: Up In The Air (no way the genius of the young Reitman goes unrecognized on Oscar night)
