OK, the awards season starts early now. We've already been through the Golden Globes, many critic's associations have made their picks, and the Screen Actors Guild Awards are this Sunday. This coming Tuesday morning (January 31st) is the official annoucement of the Oscar nominees.

Anybody want to brave some predictions before the announcement? I'll take a stab, though guessing who's going to win is always easier than guessing which five will make the cut in each category. My picks of what they'll single out this year in the big eight categories...
