Anyway, here is my annual list of Oscar favourites--these aren't predictions, just my choices for each category.
Best Picture: The Descendants [seen 8/9]
Best Actor: Gary Oldman, TTSS [4/5]
Best Supporting Actor: Christopher Plummer, Beginners [4/5]
Best Actress: Meryl Streep, The Iron Lady [4/5]
Best Supporting Actress: Octavia Spencer, The Help [4/5]
Best Director: Michel Hazanavicius, The Artist [5/5]
Best Adapted Screenplay: The Ides of March [5/5]
Best Original Screenplay: A Separation [5/5]
To be honest, though, The Descendants didn't feel like a Best Picture when I watched it and I'm also not entirely happy with favouring Hazanavicius for Best Director, but as I was ambivalent about Hugo and Midnight in Paris, quite enjoyed The Help, disliked The Tree of Life and refuse to see Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, I didn't have much choice. But Tilda Swinton and We Need To Talk About Kevin would feature more prominently if I could choose from all the eligible films. Maybe Senna and Shame too...
