Oscar, Oscar

I absolutely love the Oscars. The red carpet, the winners, the speeches. You name it. Here is a list of the 2011 Academy Award Nominees along with who I think will win in the more mainstream categories. Sorry, I don't get Sound Editing and Sound Mixing...

There were some surprise nominations along the way this year...Jeremy Renner for The Town. That was unexpected to me. He definitely was good but I was surprised!
