2011 Oscar Nomination Predictions
January 24th 2011 03:22
Have yet to even post the Golden Globes winners and also need to mention that The King's Speech took the Producers Guild Award over The Social Network. Instead, you're getting my Oscar Nominations Predictions. The Predictions this year were terribly run of the mill and therefore, I decided to switch things up a little. I've predicted some shockers here and we'll see what happens.

And Clint Mansell's score for Black Swan!
I'd like to see Black Swan take the award for Best Actress and Best Director.
Either TRON: Legacy or Inception to take Best Special Effects.
James Franco to take Best Actor.
I've still not see The Social Network so can't comment on that movie, so instead I'd like to see Animal Kingdom get a nomination for Best Original Screenplay.
I can't decide on Best Picture.
I don't follow the Academy Awards like I used to. I was often able to predict 75% of the awards at Oscar parties. Those were the days.
There's my one-and-a-half cents.
