So those are my predictions for the Oscar winners come Sunday night. Unfortunately I do not believe that there will be too many surprising upsets, but there is always something unexpected. So, I chose Amy Ryan for Best Supporting Actress since she was the favorite at one time. I also chose Paul T. Anderson to win Best Adapted Screenplay giving him his overdue Oscar, but they may be just hoping. The biggest upset I put was Marion Cotillard because she has beaten Julie Christie on occasion and I am hoping more voters have had the chance to watch her film. She had the best performance by a female all year. Sunday night can't come soon enough and I look forward to see how accurate I was able to predict.
