Oscar predictions

Here are my Oscar predictions. I am usually wrong, but I still enjoy doing these kinds of things.

Key:

Bold = What I think will win

Italic = What I hope will win

Bold AND italic = when my hopes and the reality are magically aligned

I don't really care about best adapted screenplay, but I think I'm routing for The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. 

While the winners will be interesting, I will inevitably be more invested in what (or rather WHO) Angelina Jolie is wearing, in addition to how large her "Baby-bump" is.
