Tim on the Oscars

Now, I know we won't know officially who gets the nods for another couple weeks, but I feel the need to make me some predictions on the big awards. And I have to admit, I have a few picks on here that I don't want to see get nods, but think they will, and I also have a few that I don't think will get them, but I think should.

So feel free to argue with 'em, and please, feel free to do so in the very vacant comment threads, but here goes:

Best Picture:
- Inglourious Basterds
- Up
- The Road
- Moon
- Nine
- Avatar
- Away We Go
- Fantastic Mr. Fox
- The Hurt Locker
- Precious

Best Director:
- James Cameron, Avatar
- Quintin Tarentino, Inglourious Basterds
- Rob Marshall, Nine
- Kathryn Bigelow, The Hurt Locker
- John Hilcoat, The Road

Best Actor:
- George Clooney, Up in the Air
- Robert DeNiro, Everybody’s Fine
- Viggo Mortenson, The Road
- Daniel Day Lewis, Nine
- Jeremy Renner, The Hurt Locker

Best Actress:
- Gabourey ‘Gabby’ Sidibe, Precious
- Meryl Streep, Julie & Julia
- Hilary Swank, Amelia
- Rachel Weisz, The Lovely Bones
- Carey Mulligan, An Education

So there's my predictions for the big 4 of the Oscars. Let the infighting begin!

Also, stay tuned to the site, as I'll have a new review up soon, as well as the beginning of a new series called "Better Late Than Never," where I'll review a relatively new movie that's making the DVD rounds that you (like me) may have missed in theaters.

Stay frosty, filmgeeks!
