Who I Think Should Win:
I've seen six of the ten (Fighter, Inception, Kids are All Right, King's Speech, Social Network, and TS3) and two films stood out well above the rest- King's Speech and Social Network. To me, King's Speech was just a step above the rest.

Nominees:
Annette Bening (The Kids are All Right)
Nicole Kidman (Rabbit Hole)
Jennifer Lawrence (Winter's Bone)
Natalie Portman (Black Swan)
Michelle Williams (Blue Valentine)
Who I Think Should Win:
I don't get why Bening is nominated and co-star Julianne Moore isn't. To me, Moore was better. I didn't see Black Swan, but from what I've heard, Portman owns it. I'll go with her.
Who I Think Will Win:
Natalie Portman.

Nominees:
Christian Bale (The Fighter)
John Hawkes (Winter's Bone)
Jeremy Renner (The Town)
Mark Ruffalo (The Kids are All Right)
Geoffrey Rush (The King's Speech)
Who I Think Should Win:
I've gone back and forth on this since watching The Fighter last night. My initial thought had been Geoffrey Rush, who I thought was fantastic in The King's Speech. But Christian Bale was just as astounding in The Fighter. But at the end of the day, I'm going with Rush.
Who I Think Will Win:
Christian Bale.

Nominees:
Amy Adams (The Fighter)
Helena Bonham Carter (The King's Speech)
Melissa Leo (The Fighter)
Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit)
Jacki Weaver (Animal Kingdom)
Who I Think Should Win:
Like with Bening and Moore in The Kids are All Right, I don't fully understand why Melissa Leo's performance is considered much stronger than Amy Adams. I preferred Adams. Steinfeld should be a leading actress. Carter was superb, but it was a minimal part. I'd like to see Adams get the upset.
Who I Think Will Win:
Melissa Leo.

Nominees:
Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan)
Ethan and Joel Coen (True Grit)
David Fincher (The Social Network)
Tom Hooper (The King's Speech)
David O. Russell (The Fighter)
Who I Think Should Win:
I have to imagine directing an Aaron Sorkin script is rather difficult. David Fincher did a phenominal job.

Scott Silver, Paul Tamasy, and Eric Johnson (The Fighter)
Christopher Nolan (Inception)
Lisa Cholodenko and Stuart Blumberg (The Kids are All Right)
David Seidler (The King's Speech)
Who I Think Should Win:
Christopher Nolan should have been nominated for director. The screenplay is brilliant, but the directing is what puts it over the top. Lisa Cholodenko also wrote a great script, but this one is going to David Seidler.
Who I Think Will Win:
David Seidler.
