Oscar and Razzie Nominations and My Predictions

Both the nomination lists for the 83rd Academy Awards and the 31st Razzie Awards are out so I took a look and saw what was nominated and I decided to give my two-cents and predict who would win, (or lose in the Razzie's case).


These are for the nominations I actually care about the most.  I'm others care for the cinematography or the editing but I'm just taking care of the heavy-hitters.

On a side note, I want to know why there are so many nominees for Best Picture.  I mean some of these movies deserved it, movies like The Kids Are All Right and Toy Story 3 were good, but they didn't need a nomination.  What are your thoughts?
