Oscar Predictions 2K11

Snow day. I still have a ton of work to do, including studying for my now postponed math test. Blah. So this will be a quick, raggedy post.

FWSF PRESENTS: OSCAR PREDICTIONS

• Best Picture: The Social Network
• Best Director: David Fincher
• Best Actor: Colin Firth
• Best Actress: Natalie Portman (although I'm not that confident)
• Best Supporting Actor: Christian Bale
• Best Supporting Actress: Idealistically, Hailee Steinfeld; Realistically, Melissa Leo
• Best Foreign Film: In A Better World

• Best Adapted Screenplay: The Social Network
• Best Editing: The Social Network
• Best Visual Effects: Inception
• Best Song: The one from 127 Hours (I am not familiar with any of these songs, not even the one from TS3)

• Best Cinematography: True Grit 
• Best Sound Mixing: Inception
• Best Sound Editing: Inception
• Best Costume Design: The King's Speech (c'mon, this is the Oscars, it HAS to be a period drama) (also why was Black Swan deemed ineligible?!?!)
• Best Art Direction: Inception
• Best Makeup: The Wolfman (or maybe Barney's Version which made me scream, "THAT'S Dustin Hoffman?!")
• Best Live Action Short: The Confession (no clue)
• Best Animated Short: Day & Night (easily; one of the best Pixar shorts ever)
• Best Documentary Short: Killing in the Name

Let's see how I do when the Oscars air on February 27th. What do YOU think?
