84th Academy Awards Nominations

In the past, I have done posts on who I think will/should win an Oscar. 2011 was one of Hollywood's most underwhelming and underperforming year at the box office, I actually did not think there could be enough films and performances worthy of recognition. A full listing of the nominees can be found at the Academy's website.

Here are my favourites this year, I have only listed those who I wish to have win in the major categories:
