I see no reason why this entry need be any longer than Ed’s post yesterday, the one about how his post predicting Christian Bale for Best Supporting Actor needn’t be any longer than his curt prediction for Heath Ledger in the same category for 2008. Though it doesn’t hurt that this is the only category the once (and probably not future) Best Picture frontrunner doesn’t face off against The King’s Speech, Aaron Sorkin’s screenplay for The Social Network would’ve been a pretty sure bet even if it was the movie’s only nomination, because his dialogue consistently makes everyone in the cast hyperventilate.
