Oscar Predictions

Oscars are tomorrow, which means it's time to make my predictions!  I have seen 7 out of the 9 Best Picture nominees, so I'm heading in with quite a bit of knowledge.

Best Picture
Who I think will win: The Artist
Who I think SHOULD win: The Artist

Actor in a Leading Role
Who I think will win: George Clooney
Who I think SHOULD win: Jean DuJardin

Actress in a Leading Role
Who I think will win: Viola Davis
Who I think should win: I guess Viola Davis.  I have only seen two of these performances, and it was not Michelle Williams' best.

Actor in a Supporting Role
Who I think will win: Christopher Plummer, but that's pretty much a guess.  I've seen three of these five performances, and was blown away by none of them.  Hollywood loves old men and gay men.
Who I think should win: Christopher Plummer, I guess?

Actress in a Supporting Role
Who I think will win: Berenice Bejo
Who I think should win: Berenice Bejo.  Jessica Chastain was great in The Help, though.  She's blowing up right now.

Animated Feature
Oh man....Rango?

Cinematography
THE ARTIST.  If The Tree Of Life wins, I will murder the entire Academy.
