My Oscar nomination predictions

[crazeddrscott]

Since the baby may come any time, and I will not be able to post this before the Oscar nominations on January 10th (I may actually be awake when the announcement happens for once), I decided to do it ahead of time. Again, this is what I think will get nominated, not what I think should get nominated (because I would have The Avengers in for Best Picture).
