It's hard to predict the winners of this year's Oscars because there is no clear-cut favorite. Last year, Kathryn Bigelow's "The Hurt Locker" started strong during awards season and maintained its dominance all the way to its Oscar best picture victory. This year, David Fincher's "The Social Network" triumphed in the beginning but the Oscar buzz surrounding the movie is slowly fading away.
But I still have my favorites and I will attempt to handicap the Oscars. Here are my predictions of who should take home Oscar gold at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards.
Best Picture
.Black Swan. Mike Medavoy, Brian Oliver and Scott Franklin, Producers
.The Fighter. David Hoberman, Todd Lieberman and Mark Wahlberg, Producers
.Inception. Emma Thomas and Christopher Nolan, Producers
.The Kids Are All Right. Gary Gilbert, Jeffrey Levy-Hinte and Celine Rattray, Producers
.The King's Speech. Iain Canning, Emile Sherman and Gareth Unwin, Producers
.127 Hours. Christian Colson,...
