I've got no idea what I'm talking about. True Grit doesn't get any predictions because I haven't seen it yet. I know the Coen Brothers' cinematographer Roger Deakins keeps getting nominated and losing, but I haven't heard enough hype about him this time round to say that this might be the year. I haven't seen The Fighter either, but a silly little detail like 'I haven't seen it yet' would never stop me from sending an Oscar Christian Bale and Amy Adams' way.
The Best Original Score category is hardest for me to pick. The Inception score was amazing. But there's a lot of buzz about Reznor and Ross' The Social Network score. I'd love to give it to Desplat for The King's Speech, because the music actually worked for the emotional content of the film. Problem is, a lot of it wasn't original, more like Mozart and Beethoven, and I worry that the Academy wouldn't be willing to give the award to that.
[Edit: 50% hit rate, not too shabby.]
