OSCAR WATCH: Critics Choice Predictions

After all the months of speculation, it's finally awards time. First up is the Critics Choice Awards on VH1 tomorrow night (which I unfortunately won't be able to watch, due to the lack of cable tv). Here are my first set of predictions, at least half of which I will probably get wrong. Nevertheless, it's fun to pretend like I know something about how these voters think.
