I always feel funny about offering predictions for the Oscars when they are several months away, especially since I'm sure there will be films in the top categories we haven't heard about yet, and some of the favorites right now probably won't end up nominated for the big prize (Into The Wild last year, Dreamgirls two years ago), but it's still fun to compare them once we make the final predictions before the official announcement, so here's my early predictions for the big 8 categories:
