Smith will win over Lange me thinks. Williams will win, but spoiler would be Theron. I think Hugo or Descendents for drama. Pitt over Clooney. And Streep or Davis...hard to tell.
I don't believe in The Help, it doesn't have a directing nod. It has so many nods because of the acting (they would have come anyway) and it got Picture because of its being a commercial success. I'm feeling a Hugo win. But definitely NOT The Descendants.
Also, I kind of feel that Kirsten could upset, but nooooo way she can't. OK, withdrawn.
I want Meryl to win, damn it!!! But she just has to win SAG. They say Viola will win there because of the screeners but come on 80% of SAG are unemplyed actors (=ordinary people) who vote for stars. They are watching TV and don't read awardsdaily or goldderby on a daily basis. And if Ellen and Jimmy Kimmel say Meryl definitely will and should win more than what punditswin, it's damn right they vote for her.
Best Actor: People make it out to be Pitt vs Clooney but it might be the 2007 Best Actress scenario with Clooney as Christie and Dujardin as Cotillard.
Supporting Actress: No clue. I'm thinking of what you said about overthinking this category. Simple. Octavia.
TELEVISION: I love Magnificent Maggie to death but Jessica should take it in a cakewalk. Maggie just reprised her not-so-difficult role from Gosford Park.
+ Claire Danes <3 and Homeland FTW! Plus I REALLY want Episodes and Matt Le Blanc to win. Great series.
@anonymous,
I don't see that many people talking about Young Adult... that film might be dead awardswise. Bridesmaids is popular, that's why I have Wiig as runner-up. but Michelle wins for sure.
@Daniel,
I get the directing nod argument. BUT: how can I predict 3 (!) wins for The Help and not also go for Best Picture?! I think Hugo will win ONLY if Scorsese wins too.
Yeah, I think they'd rather give the award to Jessica Lange, who's gonna attend than to Maggie Smith who isn't flying in to see them. :) that's my logic.
TV Comedy Actor is a big mystery for me. I don't think Alec or Duchovny because they've won years ago and their shows not that popular anymore. Hung is dead. So it's LeBlanc (who's never won) or Galecki.
