    First of all, Toy Story 3 is the stuff and hands down the best one of the series. And Black Swan with 4 should-win awards? Is it really that good??

      I think it was the best movie of the year. Natalie Portman will definitely win. That’s all that I can be sure of.

    I hope Toy Story 3 wins nothing. I don’t see how the academy could possibly take seriously a movie centered around talking plaything. So glad it has no chance for best picture.
