So, we're back for another week of the Predict the Oscars contest. Last week, we kicked things off with the ladies. Now, it seems only logical that we move on to the guys. This week will highlight Best Actor, Supporting Actor and a few others.

The Disney Star Wars animated onslaught continues with Tales of the Empire. (Hey babe) Take a walk on the dark side, as we get to learn more about Morgan Elsbeth and Barriss Offee. RPadTV host Raymond Padilla is joined by videogame journalist luminary Paul Semel for yet another super-nerdy Star Wars chat.
Raymond and Paul talk about what they liked and didn’t like about Tales of the Empire, as well as how it compared to the Tales of the Jedi series. Although Morgan Elsbeth and Barriss Offee are two fantastic Star Wars baddies, will learning more about their pasts and motivations ruin them in the same way that learning more about Boba Fett ruined him? Or will they become more interesting through additional depth and layers? Check out RPadTV’s Tales of the Empire review to find out!
Doctor Who Season 14 has finally come, and with it, a two-part premiere! But what did we think of "Space Babies" and "Devil's Chord?" Find out here!
Collecting Blu-Ray movies has gotten harder in the era of streaming - but you'll never believe how expensive these rare movies are.
I honestly took a shot in the dark with a bunch of these because I'm not familiar with all the movies listed. Same with the Live action Short.

Like I said last week, I won't be including myself in this contest, just joining in the fun of speculation with y'all.
Best Actor: Firth (I'd actually like to see Franco win it, but I think Firth will pull this one off)
Supporting Actor: Christian Bale (I'm pretty sure he's an even bigger lock than Portman is for Best Actress)
Visual Effects: Inception (I really don't think any of the others can touch Inception here, come on he folded Paris in half, had Leo and Page walk up a wall and had a zero-gravity fight scene, that alone wins in my book)
Best Song: I'm REALLY torn on this one. On the one-hand "We Belong Together" is such a catchy feel-good song. On the other hand, "If I Rise" is just a beautiful song. So really I'd take a coin toss on this one. At the end of the day, though, I think "If I Rise" will be the type to appeal more to Academy members, so I'll pick that one.
Best Sound Editing: Inception again for this one.
Best Live Action Short: Unfortunately I haven't seen any of these yet, so I just have to kind of make a guess here. After watching little clips of each one, I'll go with "The Confession".
Best Actor: Colin Firth
Supporting Actor: Christian Bale
Visual Effects: Inception
Best Song: "If I Rise"
Best Sound Editing: Tron Legacy (of all the things wrong with this movie, it's by far the best sound design I've heard in a very long time)
Best Live Action Short: "Wish 143"
Best Actor Jesse Eisenberg in "The Social Network"
Best Supporting Christian Bale in "The Fighter"
Best Visuals "Inception" Paul Franklin, Chris Corbould, Andrew Lockley and Peter Bebb (If it dont win thats just sad)
Best Song "I See the Light" from "Tangled" Music by Alan Menken Lyric by Glenn Slater (Really want to see this win badly!)
Best Sound Editing "Inception" Richard King
Best short "The Confession" Tanel Toom
Best Actor: Colin Firth (I'd rather see Franco get it).
Supporting Actor: Christian Bale
Visual Effects: Inception
Best Song: "I See the Light"
