I'm with you for the most part, but I think Best Picture will be The King's Speech.

I had the hardest time with Best Picture, both because there are so many choices and because 2010 really was a great year. The only reason I picked Social Network (which was not my personal favorite - that pick goes to The Fighter) is because its mass appeal may be more apparent to the Academy voters.
