Oscar Predictions

Everyone does them, so why not lil' ol' me? It'll be interesting to see how many of the big categories I get right.

Best Picture- The Hurt Locker

Best Director- James Cameron (Avatar)

Best Actor- Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart)

Best Actress- Carey Mulligan (An Education)

Best Supporting Actor- Christoph Waltz (Inglorious Basterds)

Best Supporting Actress- Mo'Nique (Precious)

Best Original Screenplay- The Hurt Locker (Mark Boal)

Best Adapted Screenplay- Up in the Air (Jason Reitman & Sheldon Turner)

Best Animated Feature- Up

I think The Hurt Locker will come away with the most awards, but for what Cameron has achieved with Avatar, I think he deserves to get the Best Director award and the Academy might recognise that. I'd love for Inglorious Basterds to win big, and if I were deciding with my heart I'd have said Tarantino should get the Director and Original Screenplay award. Unfortunately, I'm going with my head so we shall see...
