These are my Oscar picks for the 2011 Academy Awards. Since I have not seen every film, I will give the award to the film that I have seen. So my choice may change if I see the actual winner or any other nominees. I will also put in parenthesis what is expected to win.

Like I said, these are the picks I have from the films I have seen. But with the predictions being all over the place for some categories, I may end up with a few correct picks. As the Oscars happen tonight I will list my original prediction, my pick, and the actual winner for each cateogry, expect short films, documentaries and foreign films, which I will only list the winner.
