Who will win and who should win, or who should also be nominated, sometimes falls under two different categories. The Academy permanently rests in between a rock and a hard place, unfortunately for them, because there are always people who both hate their decisions (Kate Hudson getting snubbed for "Almost Famous") and agree ("Crash" WAS the best film of 2004). So here goes a slightly more thorough prediction list, with a few of my sidenotes to top it off.
Best Picture
Will win: It's a toss up between 'Up In the Air' and 'Avatar' although something tells me it will be 'Avatar.'
Should win: 'Avatar', you can't possible ignore the now highest grossing film of all time and how groundbreaking it is in general.
Best Director
Will win: Whether Avatar wins or not I'm pretty sure Cameron will snag this award.
Should win: For me, either Quentin or James Cameron.
Best Actress
Will win: Sandra Bullock for 'Blindside'
Should win: I'm not sure Sandra's performance WAS the best of the year, Meryl Streep was my personal favorite, but I'll still go with Bullock.
Best Actor
Will win: Jeff Bridges is a given
Should win: I'm not even worried about who should WIN this category, where is Robert Downey Jr.? But I guess Bridges deserves something, finally
Best Supporting Actress
Will win: Mo'Nique
Should win: ditto
Best Supporting Actor
Will win: Christoph Waltz
Should win: ditto
Best Animated Film
'UP' obviously. Although, all the films were excellent in my opinion.
I don't have the time or patience to post up all the other categories, although I will say Avatar may sweep everything away, it may. Overall this year is pretty predictable, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it makes the actual broadcast less interesting. However, the predictability has nothing to do with the quality of work that we had as movie goers this past year. Go see 'Star Trek', I had to mention it at least once.
