Oscar Noms Tomorrow

I wish Ricky Gervais was hosting the Oscars, too. This year it is Anne Hathaway (yawn) and James Franco (cute stoner type).

My guesses for the nominees, along with snarky comments!

Best Pic- 10 movies
The Social Network
Black Swan (ugh)
Inception (remember when this movie was all people talked about?)
The Fighter
The Kings Speech
The Kids Are Alright
Toy Story 3
True Grit?
Winter's Bone?
The Town or Rabbit Hole or 127 Hours of arm cut off?

Best Director
The Social Network
Black Swan
Inception
The Kings Speech
The Fighter

Best Actress
Natalie Portman- Black Swan
Annette Bening- The Kids Are Alright
Julianne Moore- The Kids Are Alright
Nicole Kidman- Rabbit Hole
The actress from Winter's Bone? That would be cool or Michelle Williams Blue Valentine?

Best Actor
Colin Firth- It's a sealed deal
The guy from Social Network
James Franco- 127 Hours
Jeff Bridges- True Grit
Ryan Gosling- Blue Valentine or Mark Wahlberg The Fighter?

Supporting Actress
Amy Adams- The Fighter
Melissa Leo- The Fighter
Mila Kunis- Black Swan
Helena B. C.- The King's Speech
Actress from True Grit

Supporting Actor
Christian Bale- The Fighter
Geoffrey Rush- The King's Speech
Mark Ruffalo- The Kid's Are Alright
The other guy from The Social Network
I have no idea, Michael Douglas Wall Street 2 as a sympathy vote?

Golden Globes Tonight

Ricky Gervais is hosting, should be good.

My predictions

Best Motion Picture, Drama

"Black Swan"
"The Fighter"
"Inception"
"The King's Speech"
"The Social Network" I haven't seen it, but for a movie about a social networking site to be talked about so much against movies with all kinds of tricks and effects, it must be good.

Best Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical

"Alice in Wonderland"
"Burlesque"
"The Kids Are All Right" Some of the competition is laughable, and I don't think anyone saw Red so it's this or Alice (which made a lot at the box office so it could give it the edge). Makes me wonder about the level of comedies in Hollywood when this is it.
"Red"
"The Tourist"

Best Director -- Motion Picture

Darren Aronofsky, "Black Swan"
David Fincher, "The Social Network" I am guessing he'll get it because even if the script is good, you have to have a good director to make a movie like this have good word of mouth and be nominated for awards
Tom Hooper, "The King's Speech"
Christopher Nolan, "Inception"
David O. Russell, "The Fighter"

Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Comedy

Johnny Depp, "Alice in Wonderland"
The GGs love big movie stars.
Johnny Depp, "The Tourist"
Paul Giamatti, "Barney's Version"
Jake Gyllenhaal, "Love and Other Drugs"
Kevin Spacey, "Casino Jack"

Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Comedy

Anne Hathaway, "Love and Other Drugs"
Julianne Moore, "The Kids Are All Right"
Annette Bening, "The Kids Are All Right" The Golden Globes are about 70 foreign journalists who aren't known for being exactly unbiased in their choices. They could give it to AJ just because their starstruck.
Emma Stone, "Easy A"
Angelina Jolie, "The Tourist"

Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama

Jesse Eisenberg, "The Social Network"
Colin Firth, "The King's Speech" This is the only performance I've seen in this category, but I'd be surprised if any of the others tops him. He was fabulous.
James Franco, "127 Hours"
Ryan Gosling, "Blue Valentine"
Mark Wahlberg, "The Fighter

Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama

Halle Berry, "Frankie and Alice"
Nicole Kidman, "Rabbit Hole"
Jennifer Lawrence, "Winter's Bone"
Natalie Portman, "Black Swan" Wouldn't be my choice, but I know the buzz is with her.
Michelle Williams, "Blue Valentine"

Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture

Christian Bale, "The Fighter" Geoffrey Rush was good, but he's one of those always good Brit actors. CB has been getting good reviews, and he lost weight and did something weird with his hair- always an indication of awards.
Michael Douglas, "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps"
Andrew Garfield, "The Social Network"
Jeremy Renner, "The Town"
Geoffrey Rush, "The King's Speech"

Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture

Amy Adams, "The Fighter"
Helena Bonham Carter, "The King's Speech"
Mila Kunis, "Black Swan"
Melissa Leo, "The Fighter" The Fighter actresses might split the vote, or not.
Jacki Weaver, "Animal Kingdom"

Best Screenplay -- Motion Picture

"127 Hours"
"The Kids Are All Right"
"The King's Speech"
"The Social Network" Look for Aaron Sorkin to try and make his acceptance speech as sharp as his script.
"Inception"

Best Animated Feature Film

"Despicable Me"
"How to Train Your Dragon"
"The Illusionist"
"Toy Story 3"
"Tangled"

Best Foreign Movie- I'm not even going to guess.

Best Original Song -- Motion Picture

"Bound to You," "Burlesque"
"Coming Home," "Country Strong"
"I See the Light," Tangled
"There's a Place for Us," "Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
"You Haven't Seen the Last of Me," Burlesque The GGs love Burlesque, so maybe this is where they give it a win.

Best Original Score -- Motion Picture

Alexandre Desplot, "The King's Speech"
Danny Elfman, "Alice in Wonderland"
A.R. Rahmin, "127 Hours"
Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, "The Social Network"
Hans Zimmer, "Inception"

Boardwalk Empire
Dexter
The Good Wife
Mad Men
The Walking Dead

Best Television Series- Comedy
30 Rock
The Big Bang Theory
The Big C
Glee
Modern Family
Nurse Jackie

Best Actress Drama
Julianna Marguiles Because I have no idea. I think she has won before, but since this show is also up for an award it must be good.
Elisabeth Moss

Hugh Laurie

Best Actress Comedy
Toni Collette
Edie Falco
Tina Fey
Laura Linney
Lea Michele I'm not a fan of hers, but if this is Glee's year, she has a good chance. Or was it their year last year?

Best Actor Comedy
Alec Baldwin
Steve Carell
Thomas Jane
Matthew Morrison
Jim Parsons It think he won the Emmy for The Big Bang Theory, so I am going to guess he wins here.

Carlos
The Pacific Even though Temple cleaned up at the Emmys I am guessing the GGs love the star power behind The Pacific (Tom Hanks, and Spielberg?)
Pillars of the Earth
Temple Grandin
You Don't Know Jack

Best Actress Mini-Series
Hayley Atwell

Judi Dench
