My Oscar predictions for next year.

This year was kinda disappointing, but I'm looking to the future, trying to make my very, very, very, very early Oscar predictions for the new year, starting with Picture.

Best Picture
-The Avengers (will the success of Iron Man, Thor, and Capt. America, and massive this blockbuster a Best Picture contender?)
-Brave (with the failure of Cars 2, it looks Pixar will get back on the horse that threw them with this awesome-looking movie)
-Cloud Atlas (The Wachowskis are famed for The Matrix, and could lightning strike twice for Andy & Larry?)
-The Dark Knight Rises (Chris Nolan had to suffer a painful blow when The Dark Knight didn't get a Best Picture nom. But with the final installment, will the Oscars ease up on their "hatred" of Nolan?)
-The Hobbit: Part 1 (The Lord of the Rings prequel, enough said)
-Life of Pi (It looks Oscar-y enough)
-Lincoln (War Horse may not've been as great as Spielberg would've liked, but it's looking like his next picture will make up for War Horse's "losses")
-Prometheus (Ridley Scott hasn't got his Oscar yet, so will this visual effects masterpiece finally be it?)
-World War Z (After 2004's Finding Neverland, Marc Forster's back with this fabulous-looking film)
