The 83rd Annual Academy Awards air Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. on ABC. Below is a rundown of EXTRA’s Oscar predictions in the top eight categories. Get ready for what is sure to be a memorable night in cinema Sunday evening.
Best Picture
There are only two days left until the Oscar telecast and the race for Best Picture couldn’t be any closer for the two top contenders. Sure, there are 10 worthy nominees total, but the top prize will either go to impressive Internet epic “The Social Network” (EXTRA’s favorite movie 2010) or the engaging British drama “The King’s Speech” (EXTRA’s second favorite movie of 2010). At the end, we’ll crown the geeky computer programmers of “The Social Network” so they won’t give our hard drives a virus.
Who will win: “The Social Network”
Who should win: ‘The Social Network”
Best Director
Even if “The Social Network” doesn’t win the big award, the Best Director trophy will be presented to its director, David Fincher, for creating a movie about social networking that’s even bigger in scope than all the Facebook friends you have collected over the last few years.

Who should win: David Fincher, “The Social Network”
Best Actor
The award belonged to James Franco for his role “127 Hours,” which hit theaters in November. Then, a few weeks later, Colin Firth stammered his way into a memorable role as King George VI and has since looked like the one to beat.
