Oscar Predictions 2011

Tonight is the big one. The award season comes to a close this evening with the one that everyone wants to win. Yes ladies and gentlemen, come 4am in fabulous British time, we will know the winners and losers of the Razzie Awards 2011...

Early April Fools!

It's the Oscars, and now that everyones favourite eight-legged psychic has gone to calamari heaven, the entire film industry has turned to yours-truly before they head down to BetFred for a pre-ceremony flutter.

This year is perhaps the most fascinating in recent years, most notably in the Best Film category. Despite every studio in Hollywood making one dimensional movies in three dimensions, there have been some outstanding films over the last year. Last year the Academy's decision to make the Best Film category a 10 horse race yielded a weak category, but this year, there are a few real contenders.

Alas, I will try my best to decipher the cock from the bull and bring you my predictions for the winners at the 83rd Academy Awards.

Best Film- The King's Speech

Best Director- David Fincher (The Social Network)

Best Actor- Colin Firth (The King's Speech)

Best Actress- Natalie Portman (Black Swan)

Best Supporting Actor- Christian Bale (The Fighter)

Best Supporting Actress- Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit)

Best Original Screenplay- David Seidler (The King's Speech)

Best Adapted Screenplay- Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network)

Best Animated Feature- Toy Story 3

And just on a quick note, I really hope Trent Reznor wins the Oscar for the Original Score from The Social Network. It was an incredible score and I would love the Nine Inch Nails frontman to win a golden statue.
