The front-runner in the race this year is, no surprise here, The King's Speech<\/strong> with 12 nominations (that's 1 shy of a baker's dozen!) The Coen Brother's hog the awards, yet again, with 10 nominations for their western True Grit<\/strong>. And two of my favorite films this year, The Social Network<\/strong> and *am I dreaming?* Inception<\/strong> come in third with 8 nominations each. I have to say, I'm super happy with this year's selection. Not only was it a great year for film but Avatar<\/strong> was not nominated! So even if my least favorite film wins Best Picture (I'm looking at you 127 Hours<\/strong>) I still won't want to gauge my eyes out and puncture my ear drums for fear of hearing James Cameron make, yet another, douchey acceptance speech! You're not the king of anything asshole!\n\nAnyway... here's how my predictions did! (Bolded films are nominated)\n\nBest Picture<\/strong>\n\nInception\nToy Story 3\nThe King's Speech\nTrue Grit\nBlack Swan\nThe Social Network\nThe Fighter\nThe Kids Are All Right\nWinter's Bone\n127 Hours<\/strong>\n\n10\/10<\/strong><\/em> - Yeah right, Like The Town<\/em> was ever in the running!\n\nBest Director<\/strong>\n\nChristopher Nolan - Inception\nDarren Aronofsky - Black Swan\nDavid Fincher - The Social Network\nTom Hooper \u2013 The King's Speech\nDavid O. Russell - The Fighter<\/strong>\n\n4\/5<\/strong><\/em> Missed True Grit - Joel Coen and Ethan Coen<\/strong>\n\nPoor Chrissy Nolan can't catch a break. With The Dark Knight<\/em> being snubbed for the major awards in 2009, he doesn't get a director's nod in 2011 either. *Sad face emoticon* Not that the other directors don't deserve to be in the running but I think with the Coen Brothers already sharing 4 Oscars, they could show poor Chrissy some sympathy.\n\nBest Original Screenplay<\/strong>\n\nChristopher Nolan - Inception\nDavid Seidler - The King's Speech<\/strong>\nMark Heyman, Andres Heinz and John J. McLaughlin - Black Swan\nStuart Blumberg and Lisa Cholodenko - The Kids Are All Right\nPaul Attanasio, Lewis Colich, Eric Johnson, Scott Silverand Paul Tamasy - The Fighter<\/strong>\n\n4\/5<\/strong><\/em> Missed Another Year - Mike Leigh<\/strong>\n\nIt wouldn't be the Academy if they didn't shake things up and throw a bone to a little international indie film. It won't win, but it's a polite nomination.\n\nBest Adapted Screenplay<\/strong>\n\nAaron Sorkin - The Social Network\nSimon Beaufoy and Danny Boyle - 127 Hours\nJoel Coen & Ethan Coen - True Grit\nDebra Granik and Anne Rosellini - Winter's Bone<\/strong>\nDavid Lindsay-Abaire - Rabbit Hole\nDark Horse:<\/em> Michael Arndt, story by John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich - Toy Story 3<\/strong>\n\n4\/5<\/strong><\/em> - My dark horse selection actually made it into this category. Good for you Toy Story 3<\/em>! It's very rare that an animated feature gets nominated for anything other than animated feature!\n\nBest Actor<\/strong>\n\nJesse Eisenberg - The Social Network\nColin Firth - The King's Speech\nJames Franco - 127 Hours\nJeff Bridges - True Grit<\/strong>\nRyan Gosling \u2013 Blue Valentine\n\n4\/5 <\/strong><\/em>Missed Javier Bardem in - Biutiful<\/strong>\n\n2008's best actor winner and baby daddy of Academy Award Winner Penelope Cruz's fetus sneaks into the ranks with his foreign language film. \n\nBest Actress<\/strong>\n\nNicole Kidman \u2013 Rabbit Hole\nNatalie Portman \u2013 Black Swan\nMichelle Williams \u2013 Blue Valentine\nJennifer Lawrence \u2013 Winter's Bone\nAnnette Bening - The Kids Are All Right<\/strong>\n\n5\/5<\/em><\/strong>\n\nBest Supporting Actor<\/strong>\n\nChristian Bale - The Fighter\nGeoffrey Rush - The King's Speech\nJeremy Renner \u2013 The Town\nMark Ruffalo - The Kids Are All Right\nJohn Hawkes - Winter's Bone<\/strong>\n\n5\/5<\/strong><\/em>\n\nBest Supporting Actress<\/strong>\n\nAmy Adams - The Fighter\nHailee Steinfeld - True Grit\nMelissa Leo - The Fighter<\/strong>\nMila Kunis - Black Swan\nHelena Bonham Carter - The King's Speech<\/strong>\n\n4\/5 <\/em><\/strong>Missed Jacki Weaver - Animal Kingdom<\/strong>\n\nTo be honest I hadn't heard of Animal Kingdom<\/em>, accept that it got Jacki Weaver a SAG nod. I don't want to say I'm surprised that Mila wasn't nominated; while her *cough* (oral) *cough* performance was good, it certainly wasn't Oscar worthy. However, the biggest indication that Mila would have been nominated for the Oscar were her nominations in the same category for both Golden Globes and SAG, they're usually not that off. \n\nI did fairly well if I don't say so myself, 40\/45<\/strong><\/em> correct predictions! Give me the weekend to catch up on the films and I'll have my full winners prediction list by Monday! You'll be swimming in your office Oscar pool!\n\nCheck out the full list of nominations for the 83rd Academy Awards!<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
