I am afraid this is going to be my last Oscars 2010 post until some red carpet pictures and the results and my opinions on who one, how the show went and the hosts Steve Martin and my man of the moment Alec Baldwin. As I cannot as originally planned stay up to watch he ceremony. :(
Another downside to this years Oscars, I have not managed to see many of the nominated films. Some still have not appeared in my local cinema which has been so disappointing! My predictions therefore have to be based on what I have heard about some of films and performances (and where the other awards shows have gone to).
On a positive note we had Sky HD installed on Friday so I can watch the Oscars in HD I have it all set to record. I suppose another plus side I can then fast forward over the annoying people on Sky Movies who were awful last year.
Here it goes with my predictions:

As I started doing my predictions I put who I wanted to win but then decided it was not really far to judge when I had only seen in some of the categories two films. So decided to just predict what I think will win.
Does anyone else hope we have a “Crash” moment for the Best Picture Oscar?
