Oscar Predictions, Best Picture & Director

The time has come to put the first predictions for the 10/11 Oscar season on record -- I'm still missing the actors but this takes a while! -- so BEST PICTURE. I would say "we'll laugh about this later" given how little of it will likely come to pass but it's more like I'll giggle about it later. You, the kindly reader, must only remember the parts that do come to pass and promptly forget every blunder. Are you up to this generous challenge?

The Predictions Are All Right?

So, I'm guessing that "The Ten" goes like so

• Another Year the auteur slot
  
• The Fighter they like boxing flicks
  
• Inception because Chris Nolan can't be a near miss forever
  
• The Kids Are All Right for a popular dramedy
  
• The King's Speech sounds like 90s Oscar bait, right?
  
• Love and Other Drugs just because
  
• Miral for a little global flavor
  
• Rabbit Hole because eventually a Broadway transfer will Oscar again
  
• Tree of Life for the "epic" slot
  
• The Way Back because WW II goes on forever with AMPAS
  

But you should read the whole line of reasoning right here. I was trying to do a lot of "bait" a healthy scoop of "dramedy", a couple auteur pieces, one potential blockbuster and something epic. But before we've seen the films it's blindfolded pointing. The Best Director page is also up.

As always I'd love to hear your opinions and especially your "wild card" pick and which capital B Baity thing you don't believe in at all as a contender.
