Now, that the oscar nominations are out, I thought, I’ll throw my hat in the ring of who I think will be taking home the naked man. I would take bets but alas, I’m broke. Here’s my picks:

Actor in a Supporting Role: Christopher Plummer, Beginners.

Actress in a Supporting Role: Octavia Spencer, The Help.

Animated Feature Film: Rango

Cinematography: The Tree of Life

Directing: Michel Hazanavicius, The Artist

Foreign Language Film: A Separation

Writing (Adapted): The Descendents

Writing (Original): The Artist

Actor in a Leading Role: George Clooney, The Descendants.

Actress in a Leading Role:  Viola Davis, The Help *

Best Picture: The Descendents

* This is a toss-up between Viola Davis and Meryl Streep (The Iron Lady). I went with Davis because Streep already has her naked man.
