For Best Director I predict that if The King’s Speech or True Grit wins best picture their respective directors will take home this prize as well.
Since the release of Black Swan Natalie Portman has been leading the buzz for Best Actress but I wouldn’t count out Nicole Kidman.
Most critics agree that Colin Firth has the Oscar for Best Actor in the bag.Newcomers usually do well at the Oscars and because of this Hailee Steinfeld from True Grit is my pick for Best Supporting Actress.
For the Best Supporting Actor it’s a close call between Geoffrey Rush and Christian Bale. Something tells me however that the King’s Speech will dominate the night and ensure Rush a win.
Best Original Screenplay will come down between the King’s Speech and Inception. I have a hunch it’ll be Inception.
Best Adapted Screenplay will likely go to The Social Network though I don’t think it’s the best of the lot.
By the Numbers
Best picture nominees:
1. King’s Speech — 12 nominations
2. True Grit — 10 nominations
3. The Social Network — 8
4. Inception — 8
Who are your top picks?
