Actress in a Leading Role

Annette Bening in “The Kids Are All Right”

Nicole Kidman in “Rabbit Hole”

Jennifer Lawrence in “Winter’s Bone”

Natalie Portman in “Black Swan”

Michelle Williams in “Blue Valentine”

Prediction: Natalie Portman will take this one home for ‘Black Swan,’ arguably one of the best and most complex roles this year. Natalie’s transformation to the Black Swan took us all on a roller coaster ride of emotions.

Actor in a Leading Role

Javier Bardem in “Biutiful”

Jeff Bridges in “True Grit”

Jesse Eisenberg in “The Social Network”

Colin Firth in “The King’s Speech”

James Franco in “127 Hours”

Prediction: We believe that the ‘Best Actor in a Leading Role’ will go to Jesse Eisenberg. While side by side with the real Mark Zuckerberg on SNL, we almost couldn’t tell who was who.
