So I'll start putting some stuff up here around 5pm.
In the meantime, my questions are these:
What are the mortal locks? (Other than Christian Bale?)
How is Hailee Steinfeld a supporting actress nomination and Jeff Bridges a lead? People saw this movie, right?
Where the hell is Animal Kingdom?
Still time to choose your own picks. I know you'd hate to miss that chance at that sweet, sweet cheddar. ($3, via paypal to the winner-or in the case of a tie, it will be divided.)
In the meantime here's the worst oscar video I've ever seen. Unquestionably. Hat tip to Shelley for this.
(oh yeah it's blurry and nine minutes long.)

it's hard to pick out the most terrible part of this...there's just too much
I feel like it is a guide post that tells you so much about the dark heart of the Oscars. It's more a promotional show than an awards show. But this is one of those rare promotional moments where nearly every product they were selling would end up at Big Lots.
Mortal locks:
Best actor: Firth. If I had to bet my life on one and only one category, this is the one
Best supporting actor: Bale. Why do I choose best actor instead of best supporting for the "bet your life" bet? Because I can at least conceive of a world where Geoffrey Rush wins this category. It's not likely - Bale should win this 9 out of 10 times - but Firth is just that much more of a lock.
Possible upsets: Portman is the woman to beat in best actress, but I have a feeling Bening could pull this out with some career appreciation votes.
One more mortal lock: The Social Network for adapted screenplay.
