Best Picture
Nominees:
The Artist
The Descendants
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
The Help
Hugo
Midnight In Paris
Moneyball
The Tree Of Life
War Horse
Predictions: I Think The Artist, The Descendants, and The Help all have a really good chance to take the award for this one. My money is on The Artist though seeing as it won 7 awards at the BAFTAS and it's so original.
Actor In a Leading Role
Nominees:
Demián Bichir - A Better Life
George Clooney - The Descendants
Jean Dujardin - The Artist
Gary Oldman - Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Brad Pitt - Moneyball
Predictions: To be honest, I'm not too sure about this one. Reviewers have been raving about George Clooney's performance, but the Underdogs such as Demián Bichir and Jean Dujardin could very well surprise everyone and win.
Actress In a Leading Role
Nominees:
Glenn Close - Albert Nobbs
Viola Davis - The Help
Rooney Mara - The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
Meryl Streep - The Iron Lady
Michelle Williams - My Week With Marilyn
Predictions: Another tough one. I thought Rooney Mara's performance in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was incredible, but she's up against legend Meryl Streep, who basically owns the oscars. Meryl obviously stands a good chance, but personally, I'd love to see Michelle Williams walk away with this award. She is immensely talented and underrated.
Actor In a Supporting Role
Nominees:
Kenneth Branagh - My Week With Marilyn
Jonah Hill - Moneyball
Nick Nolte - Warrior
Christopher Plummer - Beginners
Max Von Sydow - Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
Predictions: My money is on Christopher Plummer.
Actress In a Supporting Role
Nominees:
Bérénice Bejo - The Artist
Jessica Chastain - The Help
Melissa McCarthy - Bridesmaids
Janet McTeer - Albert Nobbs
Predictions: I think this one will either go to Bérénice Bejo, or Octavia Spencer.

A Cat in Paris

Directing
Nominees:
The Artist - Michael Hazanavicius
The Descendants - Alexander Payne
Hugo - Martin Scorsese

The Tree Of Life - Terrence Malick
Predictions: I Think Martin Scorsese is a terrific director, so I'd like to see him win this one. However, The Artist is so original and and was a real surprise seeing as the cast & director were relatively newcomers, so it definitely has a good chance here too.
