My predictions :

Best Director: Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker)
Best Actor : Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart)
Best Actress : Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side)
Best Supporting Actor : Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds)

Be great to see Granny O'Grimm pick up an award for Ireland in for the animated short.

Is that the company in Spiddal?

There's an Irish connection on Star Trek as well.
