Natalie Portman, BLACK SWAN

SUPPORTING ACTOR
Christian Bale, THE FIGHTER

SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Hailee Steinfeld, TRUE GRIT


BEST DIRECTOR: David Fincher, THE SOCIAL NETWORK
-To compensate that THE SOCIAL NETWORK not winning BEST PICTURE, Fincher and Sorkin will both win Oscars since much of the material relied on both of them working together.


ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
Christopher Nolan, INCEPTION or David Seidler, THE KING'S SPEECH


ADAPTED SCREENPLAY
Aaron Sorkin, THE SOCIAL NETWORK



ANIMATED FEATURE
TOY STORY 3
-I almost cannot believe this will be the first Oscar the whole series will have won- not counting the special achievement John Lasseter got for the first film.


FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM
IN A BETTER WORLD, DENMARK
-This is such an unpredictable and almost thankless category.

DOCUMENTARY FEATURE
RESTREPO or WASTE LAND
-I will love it if EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP won just to spot Banksy.


ORIGINAL SCORE
Alexandre Desplat, THE KING'S SPEECH


ORIGINAL SONG
"We Belong Together from Toy Story 3 by Randy Newman
-I personally love "If I Rise" the most but I feel like the Academy just went along with giving Rahman the Oscars in a Slumdog Millionaire wave the last time.


ART DIRECTION
THE KING'S SPEECH

CINEMATOGRAPHY
Roger Deakins, TRUE GRIT


COSTUME DESIGN
THE KING'S SPEECH


MAKEUP

Remember kids: If you can SEE the acting, that means its GOOD ACTING.

And if its middlebrow and inspirational, that means quality.

Enjoy the Oscars!

Hailee Steinfeld's category fraud. I hope she doesn't win.

Go Portman, Bale, and Leo (or Adams)!

Wasn't Steinfeld's fault that the producers insisted on putting her in a Supporting category.
