With Oscar time right around the corner, thousands prepare ballots in their work places. I have made my picks and it could give you a head up when picking on your ballot.
Performance by an actor in a leading role – Jeff bridges should win easily for his role in crazy heart.
Performance by and actor in a supporting role – Christoph Waltz is the frontrunner for his role in Inglourious Basterds.
Performance by and actress in a leading role – Sandra Bullock is the strong leader here for her role in The Blind Side.
Performance by an actress in a supporting role – No doubt that this one will be won by Mo’Nique for her role in Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’.
Best animates feature film of the year – Even though the race is tight look for Up to come out on top.
Achievement in art direction – Although all are possible winners expect Avatar to win based on scope alone.
Achievement in cinematography - Once again expect Avatar to win with Inglourious Basterds being a close
second.
Achievement in costume design – This one is up for grabs, but my money is on The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
Achievement in directing – This one is a tough one. I am betting on Kathryn Bigelow’s Hurt Locker to make history by naming her the first female director to win in this category.
Best documentary feature – Having not seen all of the nominees I have to give a partial guess, but I have faith in Food, Inc.
Achievement in film editing – I am making a risky bet with District 9. I think it will win at least one, and this one is it.
Achievement in Makeup – With a slim field for this category, Star Trek will win hands down.
Achievement in music written for motion pictures (original score) – Look for Fantastic Mr. Fox to have this Oscar in a loaded category.
Achievement in music written for motion pictures (original song) – The Weary Kind (Theme from Crazy Heart) will win this without fail.
Best motion picture of the year - Hurt Locker all the way. Even though I do not think it should win, look for Kathryn Bigelow to win this close one.
Achievement in sound editing – Another toss-up vote. I am going with the easy Avatar vote.
Achievement in sound mixing – Toss-up category again, Avatar for the guess on this one.
Achievement in visual effects – Avatar has this one in the bag, solid vote.
Adapted screenplay – Even though I would love for District 9 to win look for Up in the Air to win.
Original Screenplay - No film in this category was more original that Inglorious Basterds, bet on it to win here.
There they are. Hope this gives you a slight edge when you pick yours. Look to after the Oscars for my thoughts and to say “I told you so” on my winners.
