Best Picture:
Black Swan
The Fighter
Inception
The Kids are Alright
The Kings Speech
127 Hours
The Social Network
Toy Story 3
True Grit
Winters Bone
Who will win: Coin flip between The Social Network and The Kings Speech
Who definitely wont win: The fighter (bale wins), Inception ( will win all the effects categories and original screenplay), the kids are alright (terrible nomination), 127 hours, toy story 3 ( gets best animated) and winters bone.
Who should win: As posted in my previous top 5 list of movies of the year, my favorite of the year is Black Swan. However I would also be content with The social network or Toy story 3 winning as I also adored both of them.
