Imagining the Oscars: My Predictions

It's that time of year...and I have to put in my predictions...there's a lot of things I think are guaranteed...but I always feel so compelled to suggest a surprise...I don't know why. I feel like it could be an Avatar sweep, but I'm hoping the awards won't match the hype.

Your predictions are very similar to mine. Major exception is Best Picture, which I think will go to AVATAR. But I really hope THE HURT LOCKER (or anything but AVATAR) would win.
