The official ballots are in, the trophies are polished, and the red carpet is rolling into place as we speak. This means Oscar night is upon us. Besides reminding us how far back into the calendar this thing has been pushed, it means it's time to throw out our annual Oscar predictions and see if anything sticks to the wall.
Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2010 will be presented on Sunday, February 27, 2011, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center, and televised live by the ABC Television Network. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more than 200 countries worldwide.
We don't see too many surprises and especially no major upsets as the dust of jockeying and campaigning is finally beginning to settle down. So, without further ado, here are our predictions for the 83rd Annual Academy Awards Celebration (Prediction in bold):
