UPDATE: Because there are so many obvious front-runners, I’ve added one more choice to break any ties. Please choose a winner for “cinematography” (see list at bottom). You don’t need to guess this one correctly to win, but if several people hit the six other categories correctly, ties will be broken by correct guesses in cinematography. If you’ve already voted, please make another post adding your choice for this category. If you haven’t, you can always choose the same slate of six that a previous poster has chosen, but add a cinematography choice.
_________
The Oscars will be awarded tonight. This is the first year that I haven’t seen any of the movies nominated for best picture. Instead of tendering my opinion, then, I’ll let you give yours.
For an autographed copy of WEIT, you must correctly guess the Oscar winners in all six categories below. In case of a tie, the first correct answer wins. The contest closes at 8 pm EST, and members of my family (that includes you, Steven!) are ineligible.
Opinions about the movies and actors are, of course, welcome.

“Karlsson” was my grandfather’s name.
Cousin!
Haha, hi there. Swedes are notoriously unimaginative with surnames though. You probably have a million potential cousins waiting for you.
p.s. I am part of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A5ngaryd_family though, and I bet you are too..
A most interesting link – I’d never heard of that. My great grandfather (who left Sweden in 1882*) was a Karlsson, but as you note that doesn’t exactly denote an ancestral lineage. But, thanks to the amazing people at Utvandrarnas Hus, I learned some years back that he was from Östra Frölunda and my great grandmother was from Hillared, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the they brought a few Långaryd genes with them.
*Rymd för värnplikten!
That’s cool, I grew up 50km from Hillared… it’s a small world.
Cool indeed! I wound up tracing back from them to the very late 1700’s from the kyrkobok microfilms. It was to considerable chagrin to find, when I cranked the first one into the reader, that Mormons had made the microfilms in the early ’50s. But I guess that just serves to underscore that that it’s an ill wind that blows nobody any good.

Do I just enter here? I know NOTHING of movies, but I have a 10% chance of guessing the first one, 20% of guessing the second through sixth ones so a little math makes my odds of winning: 1/30 000. Not bad. I’m in!
Best picture: Inception or the Social Network, I think, but I guess I have to pick one so…*flips a coin* Inception!
Also: You can tell I don’t watch movies when I haven’t seen one of the movies nominated for “best picture”.
WAIT! Scratch that. I realized that, to improve my odds of winning (I really, REALLY want a signed copy!), I have to do like my grandma when she picks her lottery numbers, and listen to psychics in the newspaper. In my case: http://goo.gl/oVaMo
So, my REAL entry:

How do I edit my comment? I don’t think I can. My cinematography choice is:
True Grit.
Duly noted.
The website failed me, but they were surprisingly good guessers. I had never even heard of The King’s Speech…but apparently it must be a freaking good movie with great actors and directors.

One of these days I’m actually going to win a book…
I still can’t get over how utterly stupid, boring and hollow Inception was and still got all the attention because of a dream gimmick.
The whole movie was a lame deepity.
I agree. That film is total rubbish.

Hey! Looks like you’re the winner! Amirite?
Yep; Lee nabs the book.
jac
Yea! Go me.
Why Inception was a bad movie:
-Dreams are completely different in real life and in Inception in basically every way.
-We do not use only 10% of our brains, a myth the movie alludes to without actually quoting. There’s no way we would evolve the ability to think hundreds of times faster without the potential to do it. Evolution doesn’t work that way. Interesting side note: they should hook up geniuses to the dream stuff to have them do centuries of theoretical mathematics over the course of a few months.
-The rules throughout the movie are completely inconsistent, and often ludicrous. Falling in your sleeping body is supposed to pull you out of your dream, but later in the movie, they pull a switcheroo and have the dream person fall to wake up the sleeping body.
-The entire Limbo thing was particularly dumb, if you can just kill yourself in Limbo to wake up, then Limbo isn’t a real threat, or it wouldn’t be if they were being consistent.
-The idea that there’s so much “meaning” and “interpretation” to be analyzed is just piffle. There’s no subtext whatsoever, and the only interpretation anyone makes is “was scene X a dream or reality?”
-There are no antagonists. The obstacles they have to work against are psychological.
-We don’t care about any of the protagonists.
-Plot of Inception: no one in a conflict with no one over nothing in a place that isn’t real.
Jeepers, you left out the background music, which was too pushy.
Thank you Andrew, thank you. I have been so irritated by critics telling me how ‘complex’ and ‘sophisticated’ this load of bollocks is. Give me Wallace and Grommet any day.
P S for a really interesting filmic treatment of dreams see Buñuel’s Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (which won 2 Oscars)
Re: Inception
Dramatically and thematically, it was important that “dreams” and “reality” not be readily distinguishable from each other. Thus, designing dreams with Dali-esque motifs would have been counterproductive. Moreover, the film makes the interesting observation that dreams only seem surreal as they’re remembered. While dreaming, the bizarre seems normal. So, again, the dreams had to be visualized (for the audience) as superficially ordinary. That said, there were plenty of moments when the ordinary turned surreal.
As you say, the film doesn’t use the “10%” figure – yet it’s guilty of perpetuating this myth nonetheless…? Cobb’s actual line is: “They say we only use a fraction of the true potential of our brains…” Clearly, the “they” acknowledges it as a bit of folk wisdom. And from there, the remainder of the dialogue follows. It’s often reported that dreams can contain a dense amount of “narrative” in, apparently, a short space of real time. How factual that is, I can’t say. But, obviously, this notion was used as a device in the film to suggest that an entire life could be enacted within the confines of a single dream. As for the evolutionary value of dreams, I defer to the experts. Clearly we do dream. Perhaps the by-product/spandrel explanation applies.
As mentioned in the film, conventional dream “trips” can be interrupted by an external (reality) “kick.” But the main dream “heist” involves multi-nested dreams and, therefore, multi-nested and synchronized “kicks” were required. The “internal rules” of Inception were remarkably well thought out.
Yes, “dying” in a dream harmlessly wakes the dreamer – removing peril from the drama. But as the film explains in great detail, “dying” in a deep, multi-nested dream (induced by special sedatives) sends the dreamer to “Limbo” – a potentially permanent insanity. Peril restored.
Your summary plot of Inception is: “no one in a conflict with no one over nothing in a place that isn’t real.”
That’s a somewhat narrow view of what constitutes conflict within narrative. Also – in no movie that you’ve ever seen are the protagonists, antagonists, conflict and place real. So why single out Inception as noteworthy in that respect? Actually, a favored interpretation of Inception is that the dream/reality dichotomy is a metaphor for, and a deconstruction of, the “conspiratorial” relationship between filmmaker and audience.
I thought it was a great film. The altered effect on reality created by the fact that we are never sure if what we are seeing is simply the creation of a higher level dreamer (was it all a dream of Leonardo Di Caprio’s character) renders the idea of scrict dream ‘rules’ moot.
I did have to watch it a few times, however, before it made sense!
I saw more of the movies than I would have liked (The frau drags me to these things). At least I was able to avoid the Kings Speech. So I’m picking from ones I saw (and so will lose)
That said…

But Jerry, Heidi the cross-eyed opossum would obviously win this, but I don’t think she can read! http://tinyurl.com/5wgbxum
She’d do better than me. Haven’t cared about the oscars in decades, and (yet again) haven’t seen any of these movies (and haven’t heard of quite a few of them either). I’ll go along with the ‘possum, assuming the octopus isn’t doing his reading. I’ve heard cephalopods are bigger movie fans than marsupials.

Just like you, Jerry, I haven’t seen any of the movies. But I can win a signed WEIT, so I must try!
I think the reason I hate Inception so much is because people falling for it are the same people who made “The Secret” a monstrous shameful success.
It just bares open how any old inanity can dupe people.

I havn’t seen enough to make a decision. many of these films, I have not heard of until this post (What is “Biutiful” or “Winter’s Bone”?)
However, the cinematography is Inception was pretty cool.
Oh, my! You should see Winter’s Bone as soon as you can; it’s extraordinary!
I will second that recommendation. I normally dislike films as they too often follow set formulas and really do not do justice to any literary source. Winter’s Bone is the exception, it is a brilliant story and the film enhanced the experience.
Indeed. I’m glad to see that a film which looks at the effects on women in poverty-stricken, rigidly patriarchal communities, and which features many strong, complex female characters–and which was directed by a woman–is being recognized at the Oscars.
Also, Laura Palmer from Twin Peaks is in it!!!

Jeff Bridges, I couldn’t understand a word he was saying half the time. Actress in a Leading Role: Natalie Portman hands down. Other than that, I dunno. Good luck to them all.

Cinematography: Roger Deakins, True Grit
I feel that Deakins was robbed in 2007. The Assassination of Jesse James featured some of the most memorable cinematography of the decade, and the other film on which he worked, No Country for Old Men, was also quite artful. I don’t begrudge There Will be Blood, but Deakins is truly great. This is his ninth nomination, and I don’t believe that he’s ever won.
Best Picture: I want it to be True Grit, but I’m going to have to guess The Social Network
Actor in a Leading Role: Colin Firth
Actor in a Supporting Role: I’m going with Christian Bale, because he’s awesome. But I haven’t actually seen the film.
Actress in a Leading Role: Natalie Portman
