My Not-so-bold 2011 Oscar Predictions

Here are my not-so-bold predictions for tonight's Academy Awards. My predictions are based on precursors, industry insider selections and a few on personal taste. The only race that seems to be like a real horse race is the one for supporting actress between Melissa Leo (THE FIGHTER) and Haillee Steinfeld (TRUE GRIT). I was a believer in Leo, but after her self-promotion for the award, and further thinking about Steinfeld's impact on TRUE GRIT, I'll be pulling for the youngster during tonight's ceremonies.

If you're curious to see who I picked, particularly if you're in the pool I'm in (I'm looking in your direction Big D), you'll need to double-click on the picture of my picks below.

Good luck to Anne Hathaway and James Franco tonight. The early buzz has been bad for the show, so expectations are low. I think Franco may have a trick or two up his sleeve. Let's hope so.
