2011 Oscars: And The Nominees Are …

Here are the top Academy Awards Nominations:

Best actress: Annette Bening ("The Kids Are All Right"), Nicole Kidman ("Rabbit Hole"), Jennifer Lawrence ("Winter's Bone"), Natalie Portman ("Black Swan"), Michelle Williams ("Blue Valentine"). 

Best actor: Javier Bardem ("Biutiful"), Jeff Bridges ("True Grit"), Jesse Eisenberg ("The Social Network"), Colin Firth ("The King's Speech"), James Franco ("127 Hours")

Best director: Darren Aronofsky ("Black Swan"), David O. Russell ("The Fighter"), Tom Hooper ("The King's Speech"), David Fincher ("The Social Network"), Joel and Ethan Coen ("True Grit").

Best picture: "Black Swan," "The Fighter," "The Social Network," "The King's Speech," "Inception," "The Kids Are All Right," "127 Hours," "Toy Story 3," "True Grit," "Winter's Bone."

My predictions are...  Colin Firth wins Best actor,   The Kings Speech Best Picture,  I'd like to see Nicole Kidman win for best actress.  But Natalie Portman will probably win for Black Swan.
