i didn't do too bad, some of my wild cards did make it in. John Hawkes for Winter's Bone and Jacki Weaver for Animal Kingdom. overall, the nominees are pretty good, but The King's Speech led with 12, which means it's the new frontrunner. True Grit was second with 10 and The Social Network only got 8.
thank god mila kunis was left out in supporting actress, she never deserved it. the academy didn't seem to like Black Swan that much, it only got 5 nods and it was expected to do much better. Yay for Toy Story 3! it seems with a Best Pic category of 10 nominees, there's a permanent slot for whatever Pixar film that comes out in a given year :) imo the only acting category that's a real race for the winner is Supporting Actress- i think it's gonna be Hailee Steinfeld. i predicted her to end up in lead, because it's you know, a lead role...but apparently they thought she had a better chance to win if she went supporting. i think they're right. they loved True Grit too much to let it go home empty-handed, and the only real thing it has a chance to win other than that is cinematography. The Town was almost completely snubbed, which isn't too disappointing because the movie wasn't that great. the funniest snub is Christopher Nolan for Best Director. the academy really hates that guy, he's been snubbed 3 times by them after first being nominated by the Director's Guild. i can't complain too much because i think he's overrated anyway (but he did deserve it for The Dark Knight). i think this is a really close race btw The King's Speech and The Social Network. so much so that i'm predicting a split year- with David Fincher winning director for TSN, and TKS taking Best Picture.
