Academy Awards: Who Will Win The Oscars Tonight?

I have to admit, I haven't seen some of the movies nominated so can't comment on them all. The buzz tells me The King's Speech will garner a good chunk of Oscar real estate.

I saw The Social Network and Inception..

I thought Inception was a great movie.. many said it was wholly original but in actuality there are many similarities between it and a Japanese animated film, Paprika. There is one scene in Parika of a long hallway with a red carpet that looks a lot like the hallway floating scene in Inception.

YouTube - Paprika trailer

Jesse Eisenberg was great in The Social Network but, in my mind, Jesse Eisenberg always plays one character: Jesse Eisenberg.

I've seen the trailer and some clips from The King's Speech and am sorry I haven't seen it yet.. I expect Colin Firth and the movie both will win.

Haven't seen The Black Swan.

I saw True Grit and as much as I liked this updated version of the movie, I don't think Hailee Steinfeld will win nor should she. a good performance but just that.. good.

All I can think of right now.. anyone have anything to add?

Any favorites?

I haven't seen any of the movies that were nominated, except "Alice in Wonderland" or whatever it was called with Johnny Depp.

I was glad to see Colin Firth win the Oscar for "The King's Speech." I've always liked him since seeing him in "Pride and Prejudice" many years ago. He was also in "Nanny McPhee" which I thought was kind of funny.
