Avatar will probably win best picture, if not, it’ll be The Hurt Locker. Kathryn Bigelow will win Best Director. Either In the Loop or Inglourious Basterds will win Best Screenplay. I love both films (In the Loop is one of the best British comedies I’ve seen in a long time, and Inglourious Basterds is Quentin Tarantino’s best screenplay to date).
Avatar MUST win Best Visual Effects, otherwise something has seriously gone wrong somewhere. Up will win Best Animated Feature. The Young Victoria will most likely pick up Best Make-Up. As for the rest, I’m undecided as yet. I strongly suspect Colin Firth will pick up an award for A Single Man, mirroring the BAFTA success.
My fingers are crossed for everyone, although as I always say – you enter the film industry to win awards and not films… Erm .. I might have got that bit the wrong way around..
