Yes, the Oscars are coming and we always start with the nominees. As always there aren't many surprises, but two: this year we have 10 movies nominated for Best Picture and we have... two hosts! ehehStill, is curious to see a Quentin Tarantino movie, "Inglourious Basterds", nominated for Best Picture, along with "District 9" which was for me the best surprise of 2009.
There's once again an animated Picture, "Up", nominated for this same category and the Cohen brothers couldn't miss it too! eheh
Well, I'm not going to exhaustively talk about each nominee, but I'll leave you with thoughts:
Avatar - it deserves all technical awards and the best director for James Cameron (for putting it all together), but it's not the best movie.
Inglorious Basterds - if you watched it you may remember Col. Hans Landa, the evil german officer, but it deserves a good Oscar for best actor in a supporting role.
Best actress - Meryl Streep kicks ass in "Julie and Julia", but I believe the award is going to Gabourey Sidibe for "Precious" a very very heavy drama.
Coraline - usualy the Oscar for best Animated Feature Film goes to a Pixar movie, but I would like to see Coraline get the award. Good story with a dark side and a great stop-motion animation.
The 2010 Oscars ceremony will be hosted by Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. Is it a good choice? Well, usually I watch the ceremony live and it's a fact that audiences aren't the same anymore. I believe it will be a funny mix ;-)
And the Oscar goes to...

I got to comment your post in items:
1- Avatar will probably not win the Best movie (sadly)
2- Inglorious Basterds (nice acting but maybe Tarantino's doesn't get much consideration from the Academy...)
3- Coraline can't beat Up, for sure, but I'll tip you my hat if it does.
4- Alec Baldwin??? (Sucks bigtime!)
By the way: do you think anyone will steal Morgan Freeman's Actor in a Leading Role statuette? I really don't think so...
See u at the Oscars, my friend...
