My guess is "The Kings Speech" will sweep.

I haven't cared about the Oscars for many years, and I've only seen three of the ten films nominated. The King's Speech is not one of them.

I really have only one wish this year, and that is that Hailee Steinfeld wins.

I have a passing interest in the Oscars depending if anyone I admire is nominated but I don't bother watching it, I just catch the results online.

Colin Firth will almost certainly get Best Actor. Kings Speech will probably get Best Film as well although I'd really like True Grit to get it. The Coens may get Best Director but I doubt it (Fincher will get that), they have a better chance with Best Adapted Screenplay.
Natalie Portman will definitely get Best Actress, and deservedly so, but Michelle Williams should be getting it. It's a tough year for actresses this year so she's probably seen as an outsider.

For the lesser ones I hope Inception gets Best Original Score because it's a fantastic soundtrack.

For once there are a lot of genuine contenders instead of the usual couple of decent nominations and the rest as filler.
