So predictions aside and getting down to just who I plain do and don't like:

Best Picture
Who I would like to win: Up.  It's already a classic.  It'll last forever.
Who I want to lose: Um.. The Blind Side.  Did you not see my previous posting?

Best Score
Who I would like to win: Michael Giacchino - Up.  Watch the first 10 minutes and tell me I'm wrong.

Best Cinematography
Who I want to lose: Avatar.  Sorry folks, but animated movies don't count in this category!

Best Sound Mixing
Who I want to lose: Transformers 2.  This can not become an "Academy Award Winning" film.

Best Adapted Screenplay
Who I would like to win: District 9.  This is so much better than most any other sci-fi blockbuster I've ever seen.

Best Actress
Who I would like to win: Anyone other than Sandra or Meryl.  It's not that I think Meryl is unworthy - quite the contrary, but I hate when the race is decided before the ceremony.  I like those Juliette Binoche and Adrien Brody surprises. Plus, I picked Gabourey Sidbe.  (What was I thinking???)
