My awesome Oscar predictions

My 14th or 15th year watching the Oscars in a row. It always makes me giggle with excitement. There something about it that I both love and hate, but always enjoy.

And as I do every year I predict and get it ...mostly right. But this year I  am certain that:

Best Picture and Directing goes to The Hurt Locker

Best Actor in a Leading Role goes to Jeff Bridges for Crazy Heart

Best Actor in a Supporting Role goes to Christoph Waltz for Inglourious Basterds

Best Actress in a Leading Role goes to Sandra Bullock for The Blind Side

Best Actress in a Supporting Role goes to Mo'Nique for Precious

Other winners will be Up for Animated Feature Film. Avatar for Art Direction, Cinematography and Visual Effects. The White Ribbon for best Foreign Language Film. Coco before Chanel for Costume Design. Star Trek for Makeup.

Best Original Screenplay will be Inglourious Basterds. Best Adapted Screenplay will be Precious. Original Music, Sound Editing and Sound Mixing will be Avatar. Short Film (Live Action) will be The Door and Animated Short Film will be A Matter og Loaf and Death.

Best Short Documentary will be China's Unnatural Disaster... and Documentary Feature will be The Cove.

That's it for my predictions, if 1/3 of them prove incorrect, I will eat my hat.

UPDATE: The evening was great, a lot of suprises in the earlier category's but not many in the main ones, Direction, Best Pictures, Actor, Actress. Was suprised that The White Ribbon didn't win Best Foreign Film and the same goes for Inglourious Basterds for best screenplay.

Seems I was a little more than 1/3 wrong in my predictions so I ate my hat. It was delicious.
