So, I wasn’t going to do this, but I thought what the hell. It makes watching the ceremony a litte more interesting and I have some opinions that may differ from some as to who will win what, most notably the Best Actress category. The reason as to why I have said that Annette Bening will win for The Kids Are Alright is quite simple. She is an actress knocking on in her years, she has been nominated no less than four times before (and not won), and is well, almost guaranteed to be there – not that this makes any difference in terms of the voting, but are sure that Portman is even there given her current state of pregnancy. The last I heard was that she was in New York… Anyway, that’s my very light reasoning for that category decision. Don’t forget, we’re updating the website LIVE over here.
