im a movie lover and ive seen alot of the movies up here except the hurt locker.

ill post a few of my choices.

best picture: Inglorious basterds is what i want to win but avatar will probably win it.

Actor in a leading role: Jeremy Renner in the hurt locker

Actress in a leading role: i despise sandra bullock but she will probably win. if not then Gabourey Sidibe from precious will win it.

Best director: Quentin Tarantino will win best director over james cameron for the upset.

Avatar will win all the special effects awards such as sound editing sound mixing visual effects etc etc.

music of an original score will go to avatar (LISTEN TO IT) the score is absolutly phenominal. you can probably find it on i tunes i know you can find it on zune network.

and thats it for me just some of my favorites and hopfulls to win.

I want The Blindside to win Best Picture. It was a beautiful stroy with amazing acting. Avatar can go..uhhh... somewhere bad, I hated that movie, no plot, bad acting, and it still reached most profitable picture in history, I hope it gets snubbed like The Dark Knight did. As for Best ACtor, I want Morgan Freeman to win it. His role in Invictus was so powerful, and the movie really inspired people across the globe. I know my 2 picks are from movies with true storylines, but I believe that is the best storyline.
