Oscar Picks

Next Tuesday the Academy will reveal their nominations for picture, director, actor, actress, supporting actor, supporting actress, original screenplay, and adapted screenplay. These are my predictions of what will be nominated.

Best Picture

The Hurt Locker

Avatar

Inglorious Basterds

Up In the Air

Precious

An Education

Invictus

Up

Nine

Crazy Heart

I believe the top 5 will be The Hurt Locker, Avatar, Inglorious Basterds, Up In the Air, and Precious. If we only had five nominations these would be the five that would get nominated. So the bottom 5 is a little bit harder to predict, so I’m not a 100% confident. I’m sure there will be some surprises like there is every year.
