[Donald Williams]

I'm putting my support behind Toy Story 3, True Grit, and Inception.

[JakeTheSnake]

I'm surprised that Tron got a nomination for Sound but not Visuals.

[MasonK565]

Jeff Bridges for best actor, and I want Christian Bale to win best supporting though I have not seen The Fighter.

[Cjanz]

True Grit really deserves all of its involvements here. I loved that film so much.

Glad to see James Franco on there as well, I've heard 127 Hours is a wonderful movie.

[MasonK565]

Yes, as a James Franco mark I definitely approve of Franco in the Oscars.
