A pretty predictable list if you follow the other awards shows.
Avatar deserves any technical award it gets but it's a pretty poor film. It'll probably get best picture and Cameron will probably get his director nod. His involvement in the development of the tech used means he deserves something but Bigelow probably deserves the director nod for Hurt Locker. The direction really is brilliant, as is much else in the film. It would be a deserving big winner on the night.
Nice to see Up get a best picture nod but that's only because of the extended list this year. Animation is still considered a secondary film form to mainstream Hollywood fare but that's to be expected. Up has no chance of winning best picture so expect it to get best animated, or the Pixar award as it should be known.
Oh and nice to see a nomination for In The Loop in adapted screenplay, it doesn't count as an original because it's based on the TV show The Thick Of It. It won't win, it's way too sweary. The greatest shame is that unlike the best song nominees they don't get to perform a bit at the awards ceremony itself. The Oscars could do with some Peter Capaldi shouting F, Star, Star, Cunt!
Anyway we'll do our usual way off predictions game then it's time for the best awards of the season The Spliceys!

quite disapointed the hangover never got a best picture nod since its now up at ten.
i also have a wee favourite in the foreign film catagory cos i have actually seen one, how often does that happen?
my other gripe is that matt damons role in The Informant gets no recognition but Morgan Freemans does for shaking his hands like mandela in invictus?
The Oscars is a sham, but i still count it as the yardstick for success and i would love to win one.
im sucha whore.
