Updated: Oscar Buzz Continuing

*Update - so the noms are out. I would put a little more stock in Sandra Bullock for Best Actress now that Blind Side is also nominated for Best Picture (woah, didn't see that one coming)
*Katheryn Bigelow has more cred for the Best Director spot since she picked up the DGA award
*You can now officially switch George Clooney & Jeff Bridges, with Bridges as Will Win and George Clooney as underdog, thanks to the noms for Crazy Heart.
*Broken Embraces didn't make the noms for Best Foreign Film...um what-ever...sigh, anyway...
*A Single Man didn't make Best Orig Score...grrrrrr...I have no idea who's the underdog there, maybe Hans Zimmer for Sherlock Holmes?...um...yeah....
*And don't even get me started on Best Orig Song, i think this has been rigged to make sure Weary Kind wins b/c the other noms pretty much suck.

*Update: Best Orig Screenplay
Should Win: Inglorious Basterds
Will Win: Inglorious Basterds
Underdog: The Hurt Locker

*Update: Best Adapted Screenplay
Should Win: Up In The Air
Will Win: Precious
Underdog: An Education
