Here's my predictions; smart thinking is suggesting King's Speech will take best film even though I really, really don't want it to. I'm going for The Social Network anyway to send some good luck vibes to Fincher and co. for their much better film. Otherwise I'm going pretty much entirely straight down the line with all the heavily predicted results. Oh, the tedium! The bracketed, italicised notes following some of the predictions are the people/films I think should win, but probably won't.

PIC: SPEECH
Actor: Firth
Actress: Lawrence
Director: Fincher
Originial Screenplay: Seidler
Adapted: Sorkin
EDIT, after the Awards. Only one of mine was, I thought, a reach, but Jennifer Lawrence became the It! girl of the awards season. [Wait till you see her in LIKE CRAZY: before your preview during the awards-season glamour, you'd have hardly recognized her from WINTER'S BONE!] The surprise was Finchy not receiving an Oscar for what I felt was the more skillful directorial hand among the five nominees -- I thought it was obvious, but then, what does anybody know? |
