Well, I've compiled my list of predictions for Oscar nominations in the hope of humiliating my brother by have vastly more correct. We'll see how that goes. (Here is a list of his picks).
As a side note, I'm not crazy for having ten Best Picture Nominees. This year, they have switched to having ten in that particular category. For the first decade or so of the Academy Awards, there were always ten best picture nominees, so they are returning to that old tradition. I, personally, am thrilled about it.

Good picks, Kalyn. I think The Fantastic Mr. Fox is a long shot, though. (It could get beat out by Star Trek or possibly Invictus.) I would love to see Emily Blunt get nominated for The Young Victoria, but I think she's only received one nomination so far (GG), so not sure on that one either.
