  I predict “Carlos” will win Best Foreign Language at both Circle Groups.
  “The King´s Speech” for the win in LA, “Another Year” in NY.
  “Social Network” wins Best Director in NY and sweeps the Screenplay-category.
  Natalie Portman in LA, Lesley Manville in NY, Colin Firth LA and Jesse Eisenberg NY.
  And Ruth Sheen as the surprise Supp. Actress-winner in NY.

  Carlos isn’t really a foreign-language film — the bulk of the dialogue is in English.

  LA
  Best Picture: THE SOCIAL NETWORK
  Best Director: David Fincher (THE SOCIAL NETWORK)
  Best Actor: Jeff Bridges (TRUE GRIT)
  Best Actress: Natalie Portman (BLACK SWAN)
  Best Supporting Actor: Andrew Garfield (THE SOCIAL NETWORK)
  Best Supporting Actress: Hailee Stanfield (TRUE GRIT)

  New York
  Best Picture: THE FIGHTER
  Best Director: Darren Aronofsky (BLACK SWAN)
  Best Actor: Colin Firth (THE KING’S SPEECH)
  Best Actress: Lesley Manville (ANOTHER YEAR)
  Best Supporting Actor: Christian Bale (THE FIGHTER)
  Best Supporting Actress: Helena Bonham Carter (THE KING’S SPEECH)

  These predictions sound really far-fetched, and they are. I basically just kept writing as I went along remembering movies this year. The level of my predictions range from “certain” (the two BP wins) to “gosh, I really hope this happens” (Darren Aronofsky winning BD in NY)

  Three movies I’d still look out for (but am too much of a chicken to actually put them in my predictions): SHUTTER ISLAND, THE TOWN and BLUE VALENTINE. I have a feeling one of these awards groups, if not both, will want to give one of these films a much needed boost.

  I want surprises like “Toy Story 3” winning Best Picture or Darren Aronofsky taking Director.

  And, please, BLACK SWAN, the one and only BEST PICTURE OF THE YEAR. The box office is a certain proof of the excitation that this film has created in the audience. And because Natalie Portman gives THE PERFORMANCE OF HER CAREER.

  Given the reviews from both coasts and nearly everywhere in between it just wouldn’t make sense if any film other than “The Social Network” won both of these groups’ best picture awards. I’m looking for some “surprises” in other categories from LA and NY – a foreign language performanceand/or Nicole Kidman for best actress, perhaps a shut-out of the cast of “The Fighter”…

  Honestly, I have no idea who’s gonna win as I’m sure no one else does either. However, I find it hard to believe that The Social Network won’t win with one of these two groups.

  I think people are underestimating Mike Leigh’s Another Year, specially in NY. They gave him a Best Director Award (and a Best Actress for Sally Hawkins) two years ago for Happy-Go-Lucky, a less satisfying film than Another Year. I think he’ll be named best director and I hope Lesley Manville to prevail too.
  I go for Hailee Steinfeld for BSA in LA. They like young performers. After all, they were the first to honour Anna Paquin’s performance in The Piano.
  Here is my list of Predictions for both groups:
