The Fighter
Inception
The Kids Are All Right
The King's Speech
The Social Network
Toy Story 3
True Grit
Winter's Bone

This is a tight one between Black Swan, The Social Network and The King’s Speech. They each have a lot of momentum as they come into this final race of the award’s season. Personally, my giant boner for Winter’s Bone has me pulling for it. That movie really deserves it.

2011 Independent Spirits Awards Predictions

BEST FEATURE
127 Hours
Black Swan
Greenberg
The Kids Are All Right
Winter’s Bone

Despite having never seen Greenberg, I’m still a little surprised to see it here. Did the category need a little padding? I heard aight things about it, but they were just aight, nothing great or spectacular enough to warrant a nomination for the Best Feature. I still think I personally preferred Black Swan for its overall effect, but if there was ever a time and a place for Winter’s Bone to win this is it. It’s too quiet and still of a movie to win the big awards so I would love to see it get recognized here.

10:00-And it's done. Thank God. I'm trashed. Big upset in the finish. I'll talk about it later.
9:58-And they're not over time. Why did they play him off?
9:57-First playing off the stage we've had in hours.
9:56-I feel like I should have known after this movie won for Best Director.
9:55-Did fire just come out of Michael Douglas' mouth? And it's an upset! To me! But I don't mind because this movie was great!
9:48-The lawyer and I disagreeing about hats on men. I think it is always a classic and appropriate look. And I forget what his argument is, but it's not as good as mine.
9:47-Playing the math, I called it again. I think I'm not liking how accurate I am.
9:46-Bangs are not a good look for her.

2011 Golden Globes Predictions

Best Motion Picture, Drama

Black Swan
The Fighter
Inception
The Kings Speech
The Social Network

It has to be Black Swan. I get all of the other nominations but this movie was so perfect, from the script to the score to the direction to the acting. Everything came together to create a truly remarkable movie-going experience: a fever dream of tension and sexuality and insecurity and obsession. I would actually say it’s one of my favorites of the last several years.
