Best Picture: "The Hurt Locker"

Best Director: Kathryn Bigelow "The Hurt Locker" and the first female to ever win this award... as it should be.

Best Actor: Jeff Bridges

Best Actress: Sandra Bullock (although Meryl Streep deserves it for "Julie & Julia")

Best Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz "Inglourious Basterds" and there is no other choice... he's amazing.

Best Supporting Actress: Mo Nique "Precious" and she is ferocious in the part.

Animated Feature: "Up"... nothing else comes close.

Art Direction: "Avatar"

Costume Design: "Nine"

Editing: "The Hurt Locker"

Foreign Language Film: "The White Ribbon" (weaker-than-usual category this year)

Sound Editing: "The Hurt Locker"

Sound Mixing: "Avatar"
