Pretty sure Kings Speech will dominate (hate to reserve judgement as I have not seen the film, but I have zero interest in watching it)
Natalie Portman seriously deserves it for Black Swan, brilliant film.

And Ricky Gervais is the host :D
 
Just shows how "out of it" I am with "good" films...

I've seen 3 on that entire list:

Inception
Chronicles of Nania
The Walking Dead

and only one of those I saw at the cinema...

Most on that list are bored TV films IMO...:p
 
Wish they didn't do this on Sunday :p

Can't understand why "How I Met Your Mother" isn't up for Best TV Comedy...

The ones highlighted are pretty much how I feel they should go, along with Idris Elba for Luther.

All five of the best pictures are quite good this year, The Fighter is not great but I can see Christian Bale challenging Geoffrey Rush. James Franco could be an outsider for best actor. Aaron Sorkin should get best screenplay hands down. The man is phenomenal at what he does.

I can see The Big C challenging in the comedy series award only because of the subject matter and how well it has been received by the critics.
 
Well least Firth won - will see The Fighter but Im surprised Bale got supporting male, though Im glad HBC didnt win!

Also glad RED won Best Comedy - exceeded my expectations - nice to see a very decent cast not paint by numbers and have some chemistry...

EDIT: Ooo The Social Network won Best Drama - thats a surprise, Social won everything it was nominated in except for the Actors awards - I dont think it will do as well on Oscar night...

ps3ud0 :cool:
