Oscar predictions

This morning I was reading the film section in The Guardian, where a variety of their critics made their Oscar predictions. Every single one predicted The Artist as best film. Well, I very much disagree. The Artist was clever and enjoyable but much of its attraction was a gimmick. My favorite film, Margin Call, wasn't even nominated but among the nominees I'll root for The Descendants. The only race I'm excited about is Streep as Best Actress, a total robbery if she loses.
