Academy Awards are tonight. I'll watch but turn the channel during the silly bits and the acceptance speeches; I hate them. Here's my predictions:

Best Picture: The Hurt Locker

Best Director: Katherine Bigelow, The Hurt Locker

Best Actor: Jeff Bridges, Crazy Heart

Best Actress: Carey Mulligan, An Education

Best Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz, Inglorious Bastards

Best Supporting Actress: Mo'Nique, Precious

The Hurt Locker will win the other big ones in editing, cinematography, sound, etc. Avatar will get the special effects/visual awards.

Best animated film: Up

Foreign Film: A Prophet

Best Costume and Makeup: The Young Victoria

Adapted Screenplay: Up in the Air

Original Screenplay: The Hurt Locker

I don't know enough about the docs and shorts to make a decision.

Let the games begin...

Much love,
