Good stuff! I’m probably going to be right in line with you, the nominations at least.
This was one of those years where there wasn’t any real “runaway” picture. I struggled with choosing between “Black Swan” and “The King’s Speech” for best picture. But, I always had TS3 in the back of my mind. For me, it was exceeded my expectations and was nearly flawless. However, I had these hypocrital thoughts about an animated picture winning…Why would I nominate it if I wouldn’t allow it to win? Anyhoo, I finally settled on TS3 and am glad I did. The biggest runaway, for me, was Colin Firth. He was absolutely fantastic in “The King’s Speech.”
