2010 Pre-Oscars

Yes, the 82nd Academy Awards finally air tonight, and we'll learn who the winners of each category are. We've all been making our own predictions for the victors (see all of mine here), and while many of the categories already seem decided, it doesn't mean we don't have our own hopes.

I'm personally wishing for some surprises — I mean, won't it be boring if everyone who's projected to win actually does win? I have my eye on a few dark horses (Inglourious Basterds, An Education) that I hope take something home. The likely winners I want to see fulfill their destiny? Kathryn Bigelow for best director of The Hurt Locker, Up for best animated film, and The Cove for best documentary. So tell me, movie lovers, what are your hopes for the 2010 Oscars?
