*edit* Oops...didn't see True Grit on the list. I hated the ending though so my vote doesn't change. Sure hope he gets Best Actor though.

This is how I felt about True Grit. Like Oscar-winning "Unforgiven," at the end of the movie I wondered what the point was. The story left me very unsatisfied.

That said, the acting performances were stellar from all involved. On the other hand, I really didn't care for Inception, either.

I recommend seeing "The King's Speech" if you haven't. I'll vote for it. A close second goes to Toy Story 3. (But the Academy doesn't give best picture to animated flicks.)

Doesn't matter what we think. They'll give the Oscar to that asinine "The Social Network" movie.

In all fairness, it's a good movie and Eisenberg does very well.

It's a very good film, Eisenberg is fantastic.

Inception was good but flawed and highly overrated.

Best movie of the year is still True Grit to me. Unfortunately, expect The King's Speech to take most of the major awards.

Edit: In looking at the results of the poll, I should point out that the question is "Who do you think will win?" rather than "Who do you want to win?"

I'm surprised you didn't see Toy Story 3.

I want to, but it's not the kind of movie I would pay money to see. Eventually it will be on HBO or Showtime or something and I'll watch it then. That's how I've watched all Pixar movies.

EDIT:

I shouldn't say it will eventually make it there. It will most likely make it there. Because not every movie hits the premium channels. To this date, Iron Man hasn't been on any of those channels. Which is upsetting to me.

I've only seen two movies on the list. And I wasn't that impressed with Inception, so I can't really vote for it.

While I've not gotten to see The Fighter, I'm gonna keep thinking that the chick who played Maddie Ross was robbed.
