Our office Oscar Pool is heating up, and as Sunday draws near, we wanted to share our predictions for the big winners. Personally, I think it’ll be be one of those historic years where the Best Picture and Best Director won’t go to the same film, but that’s just me. Oh and Tron: Legacy was robbed. On to the Predictions!
Here’s what Shore Fire thinks about 10 top categories (chosen by me):
Best Picture: Consensus is for The King’s Speech, with others supporting The Social Network
Best Director: David Fincher is the nearly unanimous choice for The Social Network, with others voting for True Grit and The King’s Speech
Best Actor: Unanimous support for Colin Firth
Best Actress: Natalie Portman is the front-runner, with some support for underdogs Jennifer Lawrence and Annette Bening
Best Supporting Actor: Most votes here are for Christian Bale, with others supporting Geoffrey Rush
Best Supporting Actress: One of the more divisive fields, Melissa Leo just barely gets the most votes followed closely by Hailee Steinfeld
Best Score: The Social Network on top, followed by The King’s Speech
Best Song: Another split vote, the most for “We Belong Together” from Toy Story 3
Best Documentary: A tie between Inside Job and Exit Through the Gift Shop, with a few supporting Restrepo
Best Visual Effects: Inception is the favorite here, some opting for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 1 and Alice In Wonderland
There you have it, Shore Fire Staff picks for this year’s Oscars. Who are you rooting for this Sunday?
