It was pretty funny, classic Jimmy F (that's what his friends call him [I'm not his friend, BTW {sometimes I pretend to be though}]).

The Confession would have been my #2, though the people we watched it with were laughing at all the wrong times (it wasn't a comedy.....) I would be very interested to see the tally of the votes, for example, who was second, third place. I would think that Black Swan would be right up there, but I'm glad to see that True Grit wasn't riding on the Coen's name, other than Bridges great performance. But good gracious, those Oscars were BORING. Anne looked like she was having a good time, and excited to be there, but Franco just about killed me with his boredom and stiffness.

I feel the same as Dave. Can't wait for the loser to do his thing... though I won't be watching an episode of 2.5 men. I honestly thought that show was canceled back in the 90's with other shows similar to Everybody Loves Raymond and the 958129681 other 90's sitcoms that have showed reruns 10 times a day for the last 20 years. I selfishly hope that The Social Network and Inception don't win anything, but overall your picks seem very likely to be right. You can't really argue about the visuals of Inception, though everything else is up for debate in my opinion... Good luck!
