    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.

    Edit. crossposting from the film apreciation thread. Didn't see this one.

    Cross posted from the film thread:

    My Pics:

    Best Picture: Social Network
    Best Director: David Fincher
    Best Actor: Colin Firth
    Best Actress: Natalie Portman
    Best Supporting Actor: Christian Bale
    Best Supporting Actress: Haliee Steinfield

    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?

    This opening skit is awesome.

    "I loved you in Tron"

    "Say this movie!"

    "And this movie"

    Edit:     "You just got Inception'd!"

    I think he was making the joke that he always showed off his abs as Marky Mark.

    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.

    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.

    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.
