So my boss just called me and told me that I have to attend a business breakfast meeting tomorrow at 8:30 AM. I'm sure he didn't notice but it was almost like he was canceling Christmas for me because, as I'm sure you must already know, the Academy Award nominations are being announced at, you guessed it, 8:30 AM (EST) tomorrow. At the very least, it now feels like I have to go to church first before I can open my presents on Christmas morning. Oh well. I'm a big boy. And I'm a professional. Also, I have an iPhone so when the breakfast meeting gets boring ... and trust me, it will ... I can sneak a peak. This means my reporting on the Oscar nominations will be delayed until the afternoon or the later morning. Thank you for your understanding. In the meantime, it is time for my Oscar predictions. Let's see how well I do this year! Of course, you will know that before I do.

JENNIFER LAWRENCE in WINTER'S BONE
NICOLE KIDMAN in RABBIT HOLE
NATALIE PORTMAN in BLACK SWAN

CHRISTOPHER NOLAN for INCEPTION
DAVID O. RUSSLL for THE FIGHTER
(Black Sheep's dark horse: None. I like that bunch.)
BEST PICTURE
(Black Sheep's dark horse: WINTER'S BONE easily deserves to be there more than 127 HOURS, THE TOWN, TRUE GRIT and even THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT. I seriously hope it makes this list. And the only reason I gave the advantage to 127 HOURS is because Franco is hosting the show.)
Even as I type those choices up, I am saddened to think I will not get to hear Mo'Nique tell me herself how well I did with them. Anyway, it will be late but check back tomorrow to see how many I got right and for a full list of the nominations.
(Go Canada, Denis Villeneuve and INCENDIES in the Foreign Language Film category!)
