  • The Oscars are only hours away and everyone is wondering who will go home with one of the famous golden statuettes
  • James Cameron's "Avatar" is up for 9 nominations and is tipped to win some of the top prizes
  • But his ex-wife Katheryn Bigelow is also in the running for 9 awards for her film "The Hurt Locker".
  • Lee Daniels' "Precious" might be the only other film to push "Avatar" and "The Hurt Locker" in the Best Feature and Best Director categories
  • Jeff Bridges is a shoe-in to finally win an Oscar. His role as a down-and-out country singer in "Crazy Heart" has already earned him a Golden Globe
  • If anyone denies Bridges his Oscar it will probably be Colin Firth for his role in Tom Ford's "A Simple Man"
  • Meryl Streep is one of the slight favourites to win Best Actress. This is her 16th nomination - an Oscars record.
  • Sandra Bullock is another favorite to win Best Actress for her role in "The Blind Side". This is her first nomination at the Oscars.
  • After his win at the Spirit Awards, Woody Harrelson is tipped to take the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role in "The Messenger"
  • Best Supporting Actress is perhaps the most predictable category. Mo'nique has already picked up a number of major awards for her role as an abusive mother in "Precious"
