Some Drunk Kid Tries To Predict the Oscars

Technically, I'm hungover. But we'll count it. Here I am to annoy you with my predictions of this year's Academy Awards. To be honest, this year sucks. But I'll try.


Best Supporting Actress:
1. Mo'Nique , Precious (Yes, that Mo'Nique)
2. Penelope Cruz, Nine
3. Rachel Weisz, The Lovely Bones
4. Anna Kendrick, Up In the Air
5. Marion Collitard, Public Enemies
Winner/Snubs: Ugh. From what I know/heard, Mo'Nique pretty much has this won. Who cares about snubs? This category is boring. Let's keep moving.

Best Supporting Actor:
1. Christoph Waltz, Inglorious Basterds
2. Stanley Tucci, The Lovely Bones
3. Matt Damon, Invictus
4. Alfred Molina, An Education
5. Peter Capaldi, In the Loop
Winner/Snubs: I think predicting Waltz to win is a bit overzealous of me, as if The Lovely Bones is any good, Tucci will probably win. Anthony Mackle from The Hurt Locker was very good but will not get in.

Best Actress:
1. Carey Mulligan, An Education
2. Hilary Swank, Amelia
3. Meryl Streep, Julie & Julia
4. Gabourey Sidlbe, Precious
5. Michelle Monaghan, Trucker
Winner/Snubs: I hear Mulligan is far out in front. Too bad I'm not interested in ANY of these performances.

Best Actor:
1. Morgan Freeman, Invictus
2. George Clooney, Up In the Air
3. Jeremy Renner, The Hurt Locker
4. Johnny Depp, Public Enemies
5. Daniel Day-Lewis, Nine
Winner/Snubs: Freeman as Nelson Mandela? Send him the trophy. It's over.

Best Director:
1. Jason Reitman, Up In the Air
2. Kathyrn Bigelow, The Hurt Locker
3. Peter Jackson, The Lovely Bones
4. Rob Marshall, Nine
5. Lee Daniels, Precious
Winner/Snubs: I really want Reitman to win, but time will tell and probably give it to Jackson or Marshall. Lame. Eastwood will probably get snubbed.

Best Picture:
1. The Lovely Bones
2. Up in the Air
3. Nine
4. Precious
5. Invictus
6. Up
7. The Hurt Locker
8. (500) Days of Summer
9. An Education
10. Where the Wild Things Are
Winner/Snubs: Let's be honest: even with 10 films nominated now, the best films of the year will still be snubbed. District 9, (500) Days of Summer, Inglorious Basterds, Star Trek, and any comedy are/will be more interesting than An Education, Nine, and Invictus which are all just Oscar bait. (500) Days of Summer is the best movie of the year, but it will be snubbed by everyone but me. Whew. Rant over.
