So, another week has gone by and that brings us one week closer to the big night itself; and one stop closer to some lucky person walking away with a Limited Edition Star Wars film cell plaque.
That brings us to kicking off Week 3 (the next to last week) of our Predict the Oscars contest. First off, if you missed either of the previous weeks, you can go back and get involved at the links below.
Week 1: http://filmwatch.com/user/b...
Week 2: http://filmwatch.com/user/b...
Moving on, the previous two weeks our big categories highlighted the ladies and then the men. This week we move to some behind-the-scenes stuff and take a look at some of the creative minds behind what you see on the screen. Big categories this week will be the Screenplay Awards (Original and Adapted), Cinematography as well as others. Find all six below.
As a reminder, all contestants must have at least 15 comments on this site for the month to be eligible to win at the end of the month. Also, please remember to make your predictions as a separate comment; as opposed to filing your predictions as a reply to someone else's. Now, without further ado...

Chillopedia: Sometimes, the most hated characters seen on TV can fall into either side of the spectrum. So, here are 15 of the most hated TV characters of all time.
The Doomsday Cult of Antares De La Luz Review: The documentary explores how the cult members were coerced in the group and made accomplice of heinous crimes.
As usual, not contending, just having fun with the predictions.
Adapted Screenplay: The Social Network
Original Screenplay: Inception (I have a feeling The King's Speech might win this but if they don't give it to Nolan it will be a crime)
Cinematography: Wally Pfister for Inception
Film Editing: Black Swan
Now these last two, I actually haven't seen any of them. I take that back, I have seen Dogtooth...and it was crap. How "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" didn't get a nomination of that movie is beyond me. But, carrying on....I'll just take a wild guess.
Foreign Film: Incendies
Documentary (Short subject): The Warriors of Qiugang
