With just a day left to go until the big show, I’d like to bet you’ve had enough Oscar predictions – especially considering quite a handful of the biggest honors are considered locks. Well, I offer you something a little different; not who I think will<\/em> win, but who I think should<\/em> win.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Best Picture: The King’s Speech<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\nEvery Best Picture nominee achieves some degree of filmmaking prowess, otherwise, they wouldn’t be nominated in the first place. Rather than pick apart the elements and compare the contenders by the writing, directing acting, etc., this category comes down to something far simpler, yet something tougher to achieve – poignancy. Which of these films moved me most? Toy Story 3<\/em> left me in tears, 127 Hours<\/em> with a knot in my stomach and Inception<\/em> with my head spinning, but it was The King’s Speech<\/em> that was overwhelmingly rousing. This is such a special film for so many reasons and those reasons will likely be rewarded in the other categories, but in terms of the Best Picture Oscar alone, my fingers are crossed for The King Speech<\/em> based on its incredible ability to connect my heartstrings to those of the characters in the film and tug on them all the way through.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll Be Pissed If This Wins: Inception<\/span><\/strong>
\nInception<\/em> may be endlessly interesting and responsible for countless summertime debates, but an Oscar for Best Picture? Come on. On top of that, even after all the discussions, who can say they really understand the movie through and through? It was fun while it lasted, but Inception<\/em>\u2019s infinite twists and turns aren\u2019t enough for the film to stand the test of time as well as its contenders.<\/span><\/p>\n

Actor in a Leading Role: Jesse Eisenberg<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\nAs much as I loved The King\u2019s Speech<\/em>, something about Colin Firth\u2019s performance didn\u2019t wow me as much as others. Perhaps that had a little something to do with Geoffrey Rush\u2019s stellar portrayal, but that\u2019s a matter for another section of this article. Why Jesse Eisenberg? After being pigeonholed as the loveable nerd, Eisenberg showed us all by playing an ingenious jerk. In film after film he stole my heart, but here, he actually terrifies me.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll Be Pissed If He Wins: Jeff Bridges<\/strong>
\nWell, I won\u2019t actually be pissed. Jeff Bridge is quite good in True Grit<\/em>; he\u2019s just my least favorite candidate of the bunch because True Grit<\/em> is my least favorite film of the bunch.<\/p>\n

Actor in a Supporting Role: Geoffrey Rush<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\nDamn you Christian Bale for delivering such an award-deserving performance the same time Rush is in the running. There\u2019s no denying Bale warrants the honor, but that doesn\u2019t mean Rush can\u2019t, too. Both are fantastic in their roles, but, in my eyes, it\u2019s Rush as Lionel Logue that\u2019s the more powerful character because The King\u2019s Speech<\/em> is the more powerful movie. Yes, this is an acting category, but there\u2019s no separating a character from the film; it\u2019s all contextual.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll Be Pissed If He Wins: Jeremy Renner
\n<\/span><\/strong>I\u2019ve got nothing against Jeremy Renner\u2019s performance in The Town<\/em>, but as compared to his company in this category, he is by far the least deserving of the statue. Renner makes for a fine secondary character to Ben Affleck\u2019s primary, but all of the other actors here are so incredibly strong, they actually manage to blur the main\/supporting line. <\/span><\/p>\n

Actress in a Leading Role: Natalie Portman<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\nSorry Annette Bening; you\u2019re great in The Kids Are All Right<\/em>, but Nic doesn\u2019t stand a chance against Nina Sayers. In terms of longevity, odds are, I\u2019ll remember Nina far longer than I\u2019ll remember Nic. It\u2019s not Bening\u2019s fault or Lisa Cholodenko and Stuart Blumber\u2019s, it\u2019s just that they went the realistic route while Natalie Portman and the writers of Black Swan<\/em> went for something more profound and therefore ended up with something more memorable.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll Be Pissed If She Wins: Michelle Williams, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicole Kidman<\/span><\/strong>
\nSorry ladies, but you\u2019re in tough company; Portman and Bening are just on another level.<\/span><\/p>\n

Actress in a Supporting Role: Jacki Weaver<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\nI\u2019m playing the underdog card here. Amy Adams doesn\u2019t stand a chance here and like Firth, Helena Bonham Carter was outshined by Rush. Melissa Leo might be enjoying a successful awards season run, but thanks to a certain self-run Oscar campaign, Hailee Steinfeld supposedly has a chance at knocking Leo off her pedestal. So who is Jacki Weaver? That\u2019s the problem. This is Animal Kingdom<\/em>\u2019s sole nomination. It\u2019s in there with a bunch of Hollywood heavyweights and regardless of the fact that Weaver gives an absolutely chilling performance, she\u2019ll sadly being overlooked based on sheer unawareness. Well, I\u2019m rooting for you, Jacki!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll Be Pissed If She Wins: Amy Adams<\/strong>
\nYes, Adams is good in The Fighter<\/em> and shows the world there\u2019s much more to her than a happy singing princess, but she\u2019s got two problems; first off, in the actual film, she pales in comparison to Leo and second, she pales in comparison to her company in this category. Basically, she\u2019s the least deserving of the bunch.<\/p>\n

Animated Feature Film: Toy Story 3<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\nI feel very strongly about both Toy Story 3<\/em> and How to Train Your Dragon<\/em>, but as a non-crier, Toy Story 3<\/em>\u2019s ability to not only get me to shed a tear, but to practically bawl is quite impressive. On top of that, the film is suspenseful, hilarious, inventive; the list of positive adjectives could go on and on. The emotion evoked by Toy Story 3<\/em> is overpoweringly genuine making it touching, thrilling and enjoyable all at the same time. Here I go again with those adjectives!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll Be Pissed If This Wins: The Illusionist
\n<\/strong>Since proclaiming my love of both <\/span>Toy Story 3<\/em> and How to Train Your Dragon<\/em>, clearly The Illusionist<\/em> is the odd man out, but in this case, it\u2019s not just because it\u2019s not as good as the competition; I didn\u2019t like this film at all. Kudos to the filmmakers for trying to go the simple and sweet route, but trying isn\u2019t the same as succeeding. Boring and sad are not qualities of an Oscar winner.
\n
\n Directing: Tom Hooper<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\nRemember how I said The King\u2019s Speech<\/em> is my pick for best film more so for its poignancy than the aptitude of its assets? Well, Tom Hooper is getting the honor for the latter. Everything is on point in this film from the camerawork, to the music, to the acting and Hooper should be rewarded for his incredible ability to produce a coherent and enormously effective vision.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll Be Pissed If He\/She Wins: Joel Coen and Ethan Coen.<\/strong>
\nCall me crazy, but I\u2019ve never actually \u201cloved\u201d a Coen brothers\u2019 movie. I admired their techniques and particularly their ability to create such real, creative and consuming worlds; their style just doesn\u2019t gel with what I find entertaining.<\/p>\n

Writing (Original Screenplay): The Kids Are All Right<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\nWhy The Kids Are All Right<\/em> over The King\u2019s Speech<\/em> now? Because the success of the former is much more closely related to the quality of the writing whereas The King\u2019s Speech<\/em> has its director and actors to thank perhaps a bit more than writer David Seidler. So many of the most memorable moments of The Kids Are All Right<\/em> are directly connected to the inventive, cunning and honest dialogue.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll Be Pissed If This Wins: Inception<\/span><\/strong>
\nAgain, there\u2019s a problem with such a mind-boggling story winning Best Original Screenplay. Yes, I know that\u2019s part of the appeal of Inception<\/em>, its ability to toy with your mind, but it comes across as more of a gimmick when comparing it to the competition in this category all of which boast incredibly sincere stories.<\/span><\/p>\n

Writing (Adapted Screenplay): The Social Network<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\nWhether every single detail in this film is true or not, Aaron Sorkin knew exactly what he was doing in taking this already intriguing tail and turning it into an effective film. The characters are extraordinarily multifaceted, the story itself appropriately tense and, best of all, it\u2019s a piece that establishes a connection between the entertainment and reality. The effect of having experienced Sorkin\u2019s story spills over to the real world giving you a whole new appreciation for Facebook and its history.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll Be Pissed If This Wins: Winter\u2019s Bone
\n<\/strong>This movie\u2019s boring. There, I said it.<\/span><\/p>\n
