Inception got nominated for best picture, and 8 nominations over all, but Chris Nolan will not be up for Best Director.

My top guesses:

Best picture winner - "The Social Network"

"Black Swan" & "The King’s Speech" could win it too, but they're better suited with individual acting honors

*An overall great list of movies this year

Actor winner - Colin Firth, "The King's Speech"

Actress winner - Natalie Portman, "Black Swan"

Supporting actor winner - I'm split:

Christian Bale, "The Fighter" / Geoffrey Rush, "The King's Speech"

Supporting actress winner - Hailee Steinfeld, "True Grit"

Potential underdog: Jacki Weaver, "Animal Kingdom"

Director winner: Arfnosky "Black Swan"...but Fincher may run away with it (This is a good race)

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
