Here's a list of what I think will win. What's in lime is what I'd like to see win. The cases where it's just lime are the cases in which I think what I want, and what will happen, will be one in the same.

I am going to go out and say it: I believe the King's Speech will win best picture over the Social Network. Not because its a better movie, but because its produced by Harvey Weinsten. Harvey Weinsten has one singular Hollywood talent, winning Oscars. Guy can campaign better then anyone.
Natalie Portman for best actress, because I can't think of anyone else thats had her level of buzz.

It probably won't work out that way though. Those seem a little to obvious (with the perhaps the exception of Social Network winning over King's Speech).
Question: remember when Stu's Song from the Hangover got nominated for best song last year?
I didn't get to watch the awards, but doesn't every nominee have to perform the songs onstage? Did they play that song, and if so, is there video of it floating around somewhere?

I'm tired of constant whithering snark and cynicism about the Oscars, twitter is being abominable about it. Everyone knows what it is, just enjoy it or not at this point. I guess it's because the ability to commentate to an audience is now pedestrian. Not everything is coated in an unctuous layer of irony. I like to enjoy things for what they, occasionally, I suppose.

Bah on Toy Story winning. I would have much preferred How to Train your Dragon to win.
So would I. I haven't seen TS3, I'm sure it is fantastic like everything Pixar has, but HtTYD was really good as well and I'm tired of Pixar dominating the category.

"I loved you in Tron"
"Say this movie!"
"And this movie"
Edit: "You just got Inception'd!"
Edit: Shoutout for Mark Whalberg even though he wasn't nominated.
HURP DERP. Oscars.com
Hmm. This stream isnt really...the show. Its just people sitting in a chair talking about whats going on that I cant see.
Ok, that makes more sense.
EDIT: And the first award is my first disappointment!
At least one of the historical films didn't get it.
He looks really sick.
I don't understand that at all. Just a tease.
And hey, my first prediction came true. Aww yiss.
Ahahah
Edit: Seriously, Kirk Douglas is awesome.
How can you not?
Cmon True Grit!
Eheh

Edit: Or is that other guy super tall?
Toy Story 3!
