Oh, go on: you have some favs. And with 10 nominations (again) for best film, you're bound to be right on something.
The film choices include all the usual suspects: King's Speech, Black Swan, The Fighter, Social network, Inception, 127 Hours. Maybe it'd be more telling to see what gets snubbed: Love And Other Drugs?, True Grit?, Conviction?, The Tourist? (just kidding).
I always find the best actress category the most interesting, because the choices really seem to be diverse. And if Melissa Leo doesn't get a best supporting actress nomination for playing the mom in The Fighter, Hollywood should just pack up and go home (partly because she also was amazing in a film called Frozen River, that was seen by few.)
Anyway, in Comments, below, list your choices for nominees; or once you know the nominees, tell everybody how smart you are, by picking the winner, or by saying who should win. Good luck, we're all counting on you.
