Preditions/Feel:
This was one of the most surprising nominees ever! Firstly, how did The Tourist get even one nomination? I did not see it, but based on the reviews, a Razzie would suit. Also, Alice in Wonderland surprised me with the nominations it got. The "best drama picture" can really go to any film in the category except The Fighter; it just doesn't seem like it will win. "Best director" is the same. "Actor - Drama" will probably be either Eisenberg, Franco, or Firth. Natalie Portman is going to win "best actress." The Kids Are All Right will most likely win "musical/comedy."Johnny Depp in Wonderland seems like a safe bet. As much as I want Stone to win, Hathaway, Moore, and Benning all have a shot. "Supporting actress" can go any way at all. "Supporting actor" seems like Bale or Garfield will win (IDK where Michael Douglas came from.) Toy Story 3 is winning "animated movie" and I Am Love is a good movie, but Biutiful is a strong contender. The Social Network might get "score" and "screenplay." Tangles will probably win one its song nominations.
