It was suggested last week that I give you all a space to chalk up your own predictions, so that’s what we’ll do. Every Monday, before the Off the Carpet column is posted, I’ll put up one of these “Calling All Predictions” posts. Although, I should note that I may not get around to writing the column today. Busy as always, but I have run a comb through the Contenders section, adjusted rankings here and there and tossed out anything that is currently lacking U.S. distribution. My take is, if no one has bit by now, no one will. At least not for 2010 awards consideration. I’ve also updated the predictions in the right sidebar.
So go ahead and predict to your heart’s content.

Julian Stark, please, Sally Hawkins will not be nominated.
FML I spent way too much time on those predictions only for the internet to eat my homework. I’ll re-do them later. UGH.
Yeah, mine didn’t seem to show up also so I’m re-trying. Note for the extra fun, I’ll also predict winners (the first film mentioned in the major categories is my predicted winner)

I’ll predict the surprise nominees:
Jennifer Lawrence holds on to that crowded Best Actress category.
Darren Aronofsky claims a Director slot.
Melissa Leo and Amy Adams get nominated for The Fighter.
Aaron Eckhart for Best Actor joining Nicole Kidman and Dianne Wiest as nominees for Rabbit Hole.
Best Picture: The Social Network (Have to wait to see True Grit)
Best Director: David Fincher (a lock)
Best Actor: Jeff Bridges (two in a row?)
Best Actress: Annette Bening
Best Supporting Actor: Andrew Garfield or Geoffrey Rush even though I see Mark Ruffalo winning the majority of the critics awards
Best Supporting Actress: Helena Bonham Carter
I’ll only post for these two, since the other ones are still fuzzy:

Direction:
– Danny Boyle, 127 Hours.
– Christopher Nolan, Inception.
– Tom Hooper, The King’s Speech.
– David Fincher, The Social Network.
– Peter Wier, The Way Back.
I’m not buying True Grit until it comes out and proves to be far better than the original. If not, then I’d say it’s a tough buy to put it in what should be the ‘Top 5’ category (directing), even if it’s the Coens who we are talking about.
ya sure winners

If Bridges wins it would surely be the first time a role won two actors the Oscar in an original and remake. Right?
Rabbit Hole as the big dark horse everyone should look out for.

I don’t think it submitted so I guess I’ll do it again.
I just would like to say that Aronofsky’s possible nomination for Black Swan may have a precedent in David Lynch’s (I still can’t believe it) nomination for Mulholland Dr.
Maybe it’s not that unrealistic after all.
Tangled has a much bigger shot at being nominated for best animated feature than The Illusionist. I will eat my shoe if Tangled doesn’t get nominated for best animated features. When early reviewers are comparing it to Beauty and the Beast, you know it’s going to be a big deal.
Just sayin’.
My predicted winner, for now, will be the top title/name …….

All right, it isn’t submitting, or maybe it is but I’m not seeing it, in that case Kris you can delete one of them. I’ll probably do it again at another time.
I’ll post only in these two categories, since the rest is still a fuzzy:

I’m not buying into True Grit yet. Only if it’s way better than the original then I’ll start considering it, but as of now, I haven’t seen/heard enough to place it in what it should be the ‘Top 5’ category, Directing. Even if it’s the Coens we’re talking about.
PS: Sorry if this message shows up twice :(
Yeah ^, I’ve submitted several times and it won’t show.

There’s probably a limit to how much you can type/paste in, so if you’re putting in all your predictions you’re probably going over the limit.. Wouldn’t be such a bad idea to limit ourselves to just some of the categories though, there’s no real point in discussing sound mixing nominees at this stage anyway.

Yeah, I think they are going through for being too long, so I’m breaking these up a bit.
Note for the extra fun, I’ll also predict winners (the first film mentioned in the major categories is my predicted winner)

Only doing director because I find it interesting how there doesn’t seem to be a clear cut favorite.
Just try dividing between main categories and techs. Maybe it’s a limit thing. Can’t change it. Sorry.
I see Inception with 11 noms (pic, dir, 1 acting, os, ed, cin, ad, soundx2, fx, score).
The King’s Speech with 9 (pic, dir, actor, s actor, s actress, os, ad, cost, score).
The Way Back with 8 (pic, dir, s actor, s actress, as, ed, cin, cost).
The Social Network with 7 (pic, dir, actor, s actor garfield, as, ed, sound).
127 Hours with 7 (pic, dir, actor, as, ed, cin, sound).
I see those as the 5 major players.
Nominations for Top four categories.
I admit that they’re not all completely realistic but I tried to add a bit of an original twist without going to far.

I predict a close split between Social Network and King’s Speech with the former winning Directing, Adapted screenplay, score, editing and sound mixing while latter gets picture, original screenplay, lead actor, supporting actor, art-direction, costume design, and sound editing.
I made a list of predictions but for some reason I either can’t see them or they did not go through.
