LAST-SECOND Golden Raspberry Award Predix
Tomorrow, the 31st Annual Golden Raspberry Awards will take place. This jab at the worst of what the big screen has to offer has a stakes-all Worst Picture race. Tied with nine nominations apiece, are the two films at the Razzie leaderboard- The Last Airbender and Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Here is who A Man and His Awards' thinks will win tomorrow night.
WORST PICTURE:
The Bounty Hunter
The Last Airbender- WILL WIN
Sex and the City 2- SHOULD WIN
Twilight Saga: Eclipse- SHOULD WIN
Vampires Suck- UPSET PICK
COMMENTARY: Four of these five movies could win this (and all four of the movies I'm talking about are also up for Worst Remake, Sequel, or Prequel). It is safe to assume that "Airbender" takes it, because M. Night Shyamalan hasn't done a decent movie since "The Sixth Sense". "Eclipse", I am rooting for, because "New Moon" was snubbed in this category last year. "Vampires Suck" has a darkhorse shot, if an upset happens, "Sex and the City 2" would win in a New York minute, because the show should have stayed dead in the series finale, and now Sarah Jessica Parker wants to do "Sex and the City 3"? Just say no.
OTHER CATEGORIES:
Worst Actor- Robert Pattinson- Remember Me/Twilight Saga: Eclipse (WILL/SHOULD WIN)
Worst Actress- The "Four Gal Pals"- Sex and the City 2 (WILL WIN); Miley Cyrus- The Last Song (SHOULD WIN)
Worst Supporting Actor- Billy Ray Cyrus- The Spy Next Door (WILL WIN); Jackson Rathbone- The Last Airbender/Eclipse (SHOULD WIN)
Worst Supporting Actress- Liza Minnelli- Sex and the City 2 (WILL WIN); ANY of them (SHOULD WIN)
Worst Director- M. Night Shyamalan- The Last Airbender (WILL WIN); Michael Patrick King- Sex and the City 2 (SHOULD WIN)
Worst Screenplay- Sex and the City 2 (WILL WIN); The Last Airbender (SHOULD WIN)
Worst Remake/Sequel/etc.- Sex and the City 2 (WILL WIN); Twilight Saga: Eclipse (SHOULD WIN)
Worst Eye-Gauging Mis-Use of 3D- Cats and Dogs in 3-D (WILL WIN); The Last Airbender (SHOULD WIN)
Worst Screen Couple/Ensemble Cast- Twilight Saga: Eclipse (WILL WIN); The Last Airbender (SHOULD WIN)
WORST PICTURE:
The Bounty Hunter
The Last Airbender- WILL WIN
Sex and the City 2- SHOULD WIN
Twilight Saga: Eclipse- SHOULD WIN
Vampires Suck- UPSET PICK
COMMENTARY: Four of these five movies could win this (and all four of the movies I'm talking about are also up for Worst Remake, Sequel, or Prequel). It is safe to assume that "Airbender" takes it, because M. Night Shyamalan hasn't done a decent movie since "The Sixth Sense". "Eclipse", I am rooting for, because "New Moon" was snubbed in this category last year. "Vampires Suck" has a darkhorse shot, if an upset happens, "Sex and the City 2" would win in a New York minute, because the show should have stayed dead in the series finale, and now Sarah Jessica Parker wants to do "Sex and the City 3"? Just say no.

Worst Actor- Robert Pattinson- Remember Me/Twilight Saga: Eclipse (WILL/SHOULD WIN)
Worst Actress- The "Four Gal Pals"- Sex and the City 2 (WILL WIN); Miley Cyrus- The Last Song (SHOULD WIN)

The 83rd Annual Academy Awards- FINAL PREDICTIONS
On Sunday, the 83rd Annual Academy Awards will air LIVE on ABC, hosted by Anne Hathaway and Best Actor nominee James Franco. In recent years, there haven't been that many big surprises on Oscar night, but Oscar pundits, both amateur, like A Man and His Awards, and professional, like the guys from Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, and so forth, think that this year's top Oscar races are sealed shut.
Best Picture:
Black Swan
The Fighter
Inception
The Kids Are All Right
The King's Speech
127 Hours
The Social Network
Toy Story 3
True Grit
Winter's Bone
WILL WIN- The King's Speech
SHOULD WIN- The Social Network or Toy Story 3
UPSET CHOICE- Toy Story 3
COMMENTARY:
It looks like the Motion Academy will de-friend The Social Network with their choice of Best Picture. They will go for the inspirational story about the king who overcame a stammer to rule England just before World War II. Oscar voters love their period films. If The Social Network were made in the year 2050, then maybe it would get a shot here at winning. It's been a while since the most nominated movie has won Best Picture (The 76th Annual Academy Awards- The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King). That streak will end on Sunday as The King's Speech is crowned Best Picture.
Best Actor:
Javier Bardem (Biutiful)
Jeff Bridges (True Grit)
Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network)
Colin Firth (The King's Speech)
James Franco (127 Hours)
WILL/SHOULD WIN- Colin Firth
UPSET CHOICE- You're kidding, right?
COMMENTARY:
Last year, both Bridges and Firth were nominated. Bridges won the Best Actor prize for playing an alcoholic country singer. This year, it's Firth's turn as he plays King George VI, who overcame a stammer to assume the role of England's monarch following his brother's abdication.
Best Actress:
Annette Bening (The Kids Are All Right)
Nicole Kidman (Rabbit Hole)
Jennifer Lawrence (Winter's Bone)
Natalie Portman (Black Swan)
Michelle Williams (Blue Valentine)
WILL/SHOULD WIN- Natalie Portman
UPSET CHOICE- Annette Bening
COMMENTARY:
Annette Bening is a good actress. She's well overdue for an Academy Award. Four trips to the Academy's Altar (1990- The Grifters, 1991- Bugsy, 1999- American Beauty, 2004- Being Juia), and she's gone home empty-handed all four times. Which is why it pains me to say that she'll go home empty-handed for a fifth time, because Natalie Portman has this one. Oscar voters love their Best Actresses between the ages of 25 and 40. Joanne Woodward, Sally Field, Julia Roberts, Julie Christie, Julie Andrews, Barbra Streisand, Jodie Foster, and the list goes on, they all fit this bill.
Best Supporting Actor:
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)
WILL/SHOULD WIN- Christian Bale
UPSET CHOICE- Geoffrey Rush
COMMENTARY:
Bale is the clear-cut choice, but if momentum builds towards The King's Speech, be on the lookout for Geoffrey Rush to pull off an upset.
Best Supporting Actress:
Amy Adams (The Fighter)
Helena Bonham Carter (The King's Speech)
Melissa Leo (The Fighter)
Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit)
Jacki Weaver (Animal Kingdom)
WILL WIN- Hailee Steinfeld
SHOULD WIN- Melissa Leo
UPSET CHOICE- Steinfeld
COMMENTARY:
Anna Paquin. Tatum O'Neal. Patty Duke. All three were in their tweens or teens when they became Academy Award winners. Abigail Breslin, Jodie Foster, Linda Blair also were tweens/teens that were nominated in this category. Young actresses fare well in this category. The original film won John Wayne his only competitive Oscar 41 years ago, and the remake will win one for this talented 14 year-old, who splashed into her big screen debut with the remake of this 1969 western.
Best Director:
Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan)
Joel & Ethan Coen (True Grit)
David Fincher (The Social Network)
Tom Hooper (The King's Speech)
David O. Russell (The Fighter)
WILL WIN- Tom Hooper
SHOULD WIN- David Fincher
UPSET CHOICE- The Coen Brothers
COMMENTARY:
Only six times in the history of the Academy Awards, have the Director's Guild picked different from the Academy. Tom Hooper won the Director's Guild, and in a recent interview, said he hopes to win the Oscar. Some critics blasted his direction of the Emmy-winning miniseries John Adams, which he ended up losing the Emmy in 2008. I think that Hooper will win the Oscar, as the Academy will not buck the trend set by the Director's Guild.
Best Animated Feature:
The Illusionist
Tangled
Toy Story 3
WILL/SHOULD WIN- Toy Story 3
UPSET CHOICE- the other two nominees
COMMENTARY:
It's such a sad, sad story. Poor Andy goes off to college, and our favorite animated toys, go their, as the old Journey album suggests, "Separate Ways". A win for the third Toy Story installment is also a win for the first two Toy Story movies, whose releases pre-dated this ten year-old category.
Best Picture:
Black Swan

Inception
The Kids Are All Right

Golden Globes- The Final Countdown & Predix
The 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards will air on Sunday night on NBC, hosted by Ricky Gervais. Lots of stars from television and movies will show up for this annual "party of the year".
Motion Picture- Drama:
Black Swan
The Fighter
Inception
The King's Speech
The Social Network- WILL/SHOULD WIN
Yes, "The King's Speech" has the most nominations, and is probably a sure bet to win because this is an awards show run by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a group of foreign journalists. However, "The Social Network" is too hard to be ignored. This movie has dominated critics' lists all across the country as one of the ten best films of 2010, and with a Globe win, will sit comfortably in the driver's seat on Oscar Sunday.
Actress, Motion Picture-Drama:
Natalie Portman (Black Swan)- SHOULD WIN
Michelle Williams (Blue Valentine)
Halle Berry (Frankie and Alice)
Nicole Kidman (Rabbit Hole)- WILL WIN

James Franco (127 Hours)
Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network)- SHOULD WIN
Motion Picture- Comedy or Musical:
Alice in Wonderland- WILL/SHOULD WIN
Burlesque
The Kids Are All Right
Red
The Tourist
It is no secret that Globe voters are smitten with Johnny Depp films, especially in recent history. This is a no-brainer as the latest Depp collaboration with Tim Burton will win this category. On a side note, "Burlesque" will still be in the running for another award, the Golden Raspberry.
Actress, Motion Picture-Comedy or Musical:
Emma Stone (Easy A)- SHOULD WIN
Annette Bening (The Kids Are All Right)
Julianne Moore (The Kids Are All Right)
Anne Hathaway (Love and Other Drugs)- WILL WIN

Actor, Motion Picture-Comedy or Musical:
Johnny Depp (Alice in Wonderland)- WILL WIN
Paul Giamatti (Barney's Version)
Kevin Spacey (Casino Jack)
Jake Gyllenhall (Love and Other Drugs)- SHOULD WIN
Johnny Depp (The Tourist)
If Johnny Depp wins, it will be for his role as the Mad Hatter in his latest collaboration with director Tim Burton. If Depp loses, then it is up in the air to see who will win.

Michael Douglas has been through a lot personally in the past several months, fighting throat cancer and getting accolades for reprising his Oscar-winning role as Gordon Gecko in the sequel to the 1987 film "Wall Street". Douglas is a cinch to win this category.

Boardwalk Empire (HBO)- WILL WIN
Dexter (Showtime)
The Good Wife (CBS)
