What Will Win |
What Should Win |
| Best Picture | The King's Speech |
The King's Speech |
| "I don't have a problem with that, but Black Swan, The Social Network, Inception & Toy Story 3 are equally worthy." |
||
| Best Director | Tom Hooper (King's Speech) | Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan) |
| "Hooper will get this, but it SHOULD go to Darren Aronofsky. David Fincher's my second choice. Nolan was snubbed!" | ||
| Best Actor | Colin Firth (King's Speech) | Colin Firth |
| "Colin Firth is a lock-in for this" | ||
| Best Actress | Natalie Portman (Black Swan) | Natalie Portman |
| "I can't argue with that" |
||
| Best Supporting Actor | Christian Bale (The Fighter) | Christian Bale |
| "This will go to Christian Bale for The Fighter. He deserves it." |
||
| Best Supporting Actress | Melissa Leo (The Fighter) | Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit) |
| "Melissa Leo will probably win, but I'd like to see True Grit's Hailee Steinfeld collect the award." |
||
| Best Adapted Screenplay | Aaron Sorkin (Social Network) |
Aaron Sorkin |
| "That's a good thing. He's a great writer." | ||
| Best Original Screenplay | The King's Speech | Inception |
| Fair enough. But I'd give it to Inception, as Christopher Nolan deserves something! |
||
| Best Animated Film | Top Story 3 |
Top Story 3 |
| "Toy Story 3 will be named Best Animated Feature. I can't even remember what else is nominated!" |
