Academy Awards

So... the Academy Awards are coming. Last year the Oscars was the first award show I really watched with interest and I thought it was okay. I saw the Golden Globes this year and thought that was kind of lame. Anyway, here is what I want to win for each category that I can make a fair guess about (I know that a lot of these won't turn out how I would like).
