This Sunday the Academy Awards will be airing and let me tell you and I am so ready. This year they have a made a change in that the Best Picture category is expanded to 10 nominees from the usual 5. While I am no expert, I will try and make predictons as to who I think will win:

Inglourious Basterds

Precious

A Serious Man

Up

Up In the Air

BEST ACTOR

Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart)*WINNER* (lots of websites have said that he will win; he apparently completely loses himself in the role)

Colin Firth (A Single Man)

Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker)
