Oscar Predictions

It's less than 24 hours to the Oscars, the grand-daddy of the awards ceremonies. Here are my predictions for the top six awards:

• Best Picture: The Artist
• Best Director: Michael Hazanavicius (The Artist)
• Best Actor: Jean Dujardin (The Artist)
• Best Actress: Viola Davis (The Help)
• Best Supporting Actor: Christopher Plummer (Beginners)
• Best Supporitng Actress: Octavia Spencer (The Help)

You can see all my predictions in the attached ballot sheet (full disclosure from movie man) -- maybe they'll help you win the party pool wherever you're watching the Oscars. Here's hoping your Oscar party is as much fun as ours will be.

By the way, you can catch my reviews of The Help and Hugo coming up in early March.
