Best Picture

Expect a photo-finish in between Camerons 3D eco-extravaganza Avatar and Bigelows surgically focused bomb-disposal thriller The Hurt Locker. Avatars perfect blurb poke and technological breakthroughs will probably poke it ahead, but the theory is unequivocally anyones.

Best Actor

Colin Firth is the majority honourable runner-up, but four-time crook Bridges has an unbeatable case. Yes, Crazy Hearts a rickety vehicle, but the opening is some-more than abounding enough, and the simply time echoes of Robert Duvalls win for Tender Mercies (1983).

Should win: Jeff Bridges

Will win: Jeff Bridges

Best Actress

Bullock and Streep are tussling at the front here, but the fullest all-round character, gait the pleasant Mulligan, is Sidibes slow-burn mural of abuse, gloomy introversion and tongue-tied rebuttal in Precious. Expect a newness win for Bullock, though, for her spin in The Blind Side.

Should win: Gabourey Sidibe

Will win: Sandra Bullock

Best Director

Best Supporting Actor

Theres no denying Waltzs brilliance, or the comprehensive faith that ruin dip this hes not only simply the majority appropriate thing in Tarantinos schizoid punish frisk Inglourious Basterds, but arguably creates the majority noted impression in his directors total oeuvre. How will he ever tip Col Landa?

Should win: Christoph Waltz

Will win: Christoph Waltz

Best Supporting Actress

Count me between the MoNique disciples: theres far some-more to her opening in Precious than Marys set-piece diatribes. It encompasses a frightening form of tones, from bile, sourness and self-pity by distributed perversion and plays for understanding. Farmigas a estimable hopeful too, but not this good.

Should win: MoNique

Will win: MoNique
