As a blogger who frequently blogs about pop culture, I’m legally obligated to make some sort of completely uninformed Oscar predictions. So here’s one: Avatar will snag Best Picture (because the Academy wants to demonstrate that it “gets” the movie-going public that made this movie such a juggernaut) while Kathryn Bigelow will take the Best Director award (because the Academy recognizes that The Hurt Locker is a better film and it wants the Monday morning news to be about how that particular David-Goliath match-up ended in a draw). And here’s another: Christoph Waltz will win Best Supporting Actor for his menacing yet alluring portrayal of Colonel Hans Landa or there is no justice in this world.
