Who Should Win: True Grit, another beautiful film from the Coen's. With an honourable mention for Winter's Bone and The Social Network.
Who Will Win: The King's Speech. Apart from the performance of Colin Firth, this film is only so-so no matter what the opinion of the British press.
Who Should Win: Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, I don't believe in splitting the film and director nods so I had to choose the Coens.
Who Will Win: David Fincher. I have a sneaking suspicion that this will be Fincher's year and the academy will split the two main awards.
Who Should Win: Colin Firth, the best performance of his career and an affecting, deserving winner.
Who Will Win: Colin Firth
Best Actress: An unusually good year for Best Actress. The nominees are: Annette Bening, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lawrence, Natalie Portman, Michelle Williams
Who Should Win: Jennifer Lawrence, a deep and startlingly good performance that stood out above all the rest this year for me. Winter's Bone is a must see if you didn't catch it during its limited release.
Who Will Win: Natalie Portman, and I don't even think it will be close. All the pre-Oscar buzz has pointed toward Portman picking up the nod.
Best Supporting Actor: A difficult one to call this, all five nominees could be said to be in with a chance. The nominees are: Christian Bale, John Hawkes, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, Geoffrey Rush.
Who Should Win: Jeremy Renner, another fine performance from Renner who won last year with The Hurt Locker.
Who Will Win: Christian Bale. I think Renner's win last year will count against him.
Best Supporting Actress: Another hard call. The nominees are: Amy Adams, Helena Bonham Carter, Melissa Leo, Hailee Steinfeld, Jacki Weaver.
Who Should Win: Hailee Steinfeld. An epic performance and who says a 14 year old can't win?
Who Will Win: Helena Bonham Carter, as part of the King's Speech sweep.
Who Should Win: Aaron Sorkin surely has to win this time with his peerless adaptation of the Facebook story.
Who Will Win: The Social Network
Best Original Screenplay: The nominees are: Another Year, The Fighter, Inception, The Kids Are All Right, The King's Speech.
Who Should Win: Inception, Christopher Nolan deserves some reward for his complex Summer hit.
Who Will Win: The King's Speech. If the night goes their way, they could end up with a lot of award including this one.
We shall see what happens on the night. I would also expect Inception to take many of the more technical awards such as Visual Effects, Sound Mixing & Sound Editing. Toy Story 3 is also a certainty to win the Animated Feature award.
