There you have it, some categories are locks, including Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Director. No Country should be safe for Best Picture, but not a lock. Julie Christie looks safe for Best Actress, but look for Ellen Page or Marion Cotilliard to upset. The Best Supporting Actress race is a toss-up between three people, any of them could win.
