Unless you’ve been living in a cave somewhere, you know that this Sunday, envelopes will be opened, names will be announced, and Oscar statuettes will be handed out! There’ll be cheer; there’ll be tears; there’ll even be anger and frustration – and all before the first award is even given
So, who’s going to win what? Will there be any surprises, or have previous awards shows already made sure that there aren’t any? Tune in on Sunday night to find out, like everybody else!
However, we can certainly have some fun with it all, and give our choices for whom we think will win each award; and I’m going to do just that – at least in the major categories – Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Picture. I’ll also give my spoiler picks for each.

Maybe the surprises will come when the trophies are eventually handed out on March 7th.
Of note, Precious received nominations in almost every major category – Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay. Now if only there were 2 prominent roles for men in the film, it just may have been nodded in the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor
Morgan Freeman received a Best Actor nomination for his role in Invictus, and The Princess & The Frog is nommed in the Best Animated Feature category.
Lee Daniels, by the way, becomes only the second African American to be nominated in the Best Director category. Can you name who was the first (and no,...
