In last year’s predictions I got all five perfectly. Let’s see how I do this year!

Best Supporting Actress: Mo’Nique – Normally it would be Vera Farmiga: she’s young, she’s hot, she’s blond, and she did a butt-shot in the movie. Case closed! But Precious is not going to win anything else, and the Academy loves flashy roles like this.

Best Supporting Actor: Christop Waltz – The Academy always feels that they owe that hack Tarantino something, so it’s going to be the cartoonish performance of Waltz, which will ensure that abomination of a film will live on, unfortunately.

Best Actress: Sandra Bullock – Okay, they’re not going to give it to the kid or the old person, and they are certainly not going to give it to the Precious woman. So are they going to give it to Sandra Fucking Bullock or are they going to fall back on ol’ Meryl?! As with Julia Roberts, in the end they just won’t be able to resist sending Sandra Bullock out on stage to receive a Best Actress award – simply too temping.

Best Actor: Jeff Bridges – They owe him, and it’s a flashy role.

Best Picture: Up in the Air – It’s a topic that is on everyone’s mind right now, Hurt locker is about an unpopular topic and no one saw it, and James Cameron gave a lousy speech last time around, which always hurts your chances (just as a good speech always helps!)
