Anne Hathaway should win based on unbeatable hotness.

I'm beginning to think that this award will go to the actress who fakes humility the best.

Winslet's film is the only BP nominee. That always helps.

This format will not survive to next year. Just like last years 'within the audience' awards didn't survive.

Changeling was fantastic. That should be up for these awards instead of Slumdog, Frost/Nixon or the reader...
