I think the list is fair except that Chris Nolan deserves a nomination in Directing for Inception. I'm so excited for Jesse Eisenberg and James Franco for the leading role, I think they really deserved it, I haven't seen The King's Speech yet so I can't say anything about Colin Firth, but I'm sure he was awesome, too! I can't really pick for one to win the Best Actor in a Leading Role but I'm sure of whom I want to pick for the Best Actor in Supporting Role; Jeremy Renner in The Town! I loved the man from The Hurt Locker and his performance in The Town was outstanding.

As for the actress, I was completely confident that Natalie Portman will be in the list. I'm excited for Michelle William, too. I saw her movie Blue Valentine and she was absolutely brilliant, and I don't need to see The King's Speech to know if Helena Bonham Carter did good, I know she's always amazing! Best Picture category has 10 candidates including Toy Story 3!
