Kathryn Bigelow of The Hurt Locker will win best director. Unfortunately even with James Cameron nominated and the Golden Globe winner, she will still be a heavy price to lay but thats the Oscars for ya..
Bigelow will be the first woman in 82 years to win a best director Oscar. Forget Avatar for Best Pic also, Sci-Fi has never won an Oscar. I recommend you go with Hurt Locker for both director (Bigelow) and best picture, a natural combo.
Jeff Bridges, winless despite 4 nominations finally gets a statue for best actor for the country-music tale "Crazy Heart." - At least Sean Penn is not around this year. Nothing against him as Harvey Milk but he robbed the statue from The Wrestler's Mickey Roarke last year. Sometimes there are some politics involved in these things.
Best supporting actress Mo'Nique in Precious. Not my cup of tea as a flick but this is about gambling on who will win the statue. Go with the nasty mama.
Best Supporting Actor Christoph Waltz of Inglorious Bastards.
For the hell of it:
Best Animated Feature Film: UP
BOL to all, wil.

Throwing in The Weary Kind” (from “Crazy Heart”), with music and lyrics by Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett for Best Original Song.
Also if you can find a price for Sound editing “Inglourious Basterds.”
Lock of the night besides Christopher Woltz is “The White Ribbon,” for best Foreign Language Film.

There's never a "lock" in the Best Foreign Language Film category ... and the odds have gotten considerably better on that film over the last 2 weeks, not a good sign.
My $4K haircut that I took on Pan's Labyrinth at -600 a few years back is a testament to that ... only losing year I ever had betting on the Oscars ... won every other bet, but that $4K was a tough hole to dig out of.
