Before the Golden Globe nominations are announced tomorrow, I wanted to place my bets on likely Oscar Nominations (which will be released January 25). I haven't yet seen all of the movies I think will be nominated in some degree, in fact some aren't even in theaters yet, so I may be wrong. However, I think I will be right on most of them. Without any further ado, here are my top 10 movies of 2010:
Black Swan
True Grit
Winter's Bone
127 Hours
The Social Network
Rabbit Hole
The King's Speech
The Fighter
The Kids Are Alright
Inception
My two other possibilities are Toy Story 3 and The Town, but I feel less confident the Academy will pick either of these.
Best Actor:
Jeff Bridges for True Grit
Jesse Eisenberg for The Social Network
Colin Firth for The King's Speech
James Franch for 127 Hours
I have also heard a lot about Ryan Gosling in Blue Valentine
Best Actress:
Natalie Portman for Black Swan
Nicole Kidman for Rabbit Hole
Annette Bening for The Kids Are Alright
Jennifer Lawrence for Winter's Bone
And joining her costar, Michelle Williams in Blue Valentine
Best Director:
Danny Boyle for 127 Hours
Darren Aronofsky for Black Swan
Coen Brothers for True Grit
David Fincher for The Social Network
Christopher Nolan for Inception
Let the Awards Season begin!
