Yeah, so I promised to be done with Oscar a few days back but I had one last wind and the result is this final "For Your Consideration" column over at indieWIRE that runs down year-in-advance predictions for the 2011 Academy Awards (at least in the eight major categories). I didn't include any winner suggestions, so I might as well do so here as a supplement. Please excuse how ridiculous this exercise is in theory, and enjoy:
Best Picture: The Way Back (alt: The Tree of Life)
Best Director: Peter Weir, The Way Back (alt: Terrance Malick, The Tree of Life)
Best Actor: Matt Damon, Hereafter (alt: Colin Firth, The King's Speech)
Best Actress: Annette Bening, The Kids Are All Right (alt: Anne Hathaway, Love & Other Drugs)
Best Supporting Actor: Ed Harris, The Way Back (alt: Josh Brolin, True Grit)
Best Supporting Actress: Bryce Dallas Howard, Hereafter (alt: Julianne Moore, The Kids Are All Right)
Best Original Screenplay: The Kids Are All Right (alt: Toy Story 3)

Bening, Julianne Moore, Johnny Depp, Ed Harris, and Peter Weir are due for Oscar wins, big time. They are going all the way.

I AGREE. MATT DAMON IS THE BEST THIS YEAR AND SHOULD RECEIVE AN OSCAR FOR "THE DEPARTED".

Totally see it being Annette Bening's year. As long as Hilary Swank doesn't have anything good coming out next year. Her nemesis!
