I would be excited for that, Sonic, but precedent is against it as we all know. Personally, a Black Swan win would be awesome, too, but it doesn't have any supporting awards to presage a win.

As much as I didn't like Inception, it would make for a very exciting outcome.
Except it was not even nominated...which is so fucking bizarre.

Let's let it be known that Original Song is the only award left before Best Director and we're no closer to knowing who will win than we were.
With 3 awards, Social Network would appear to have the lead compared with King's Speech's 1. At this point, the max # of awards Speech could get is 4. Social Network could get to five if it wins Director and Picture, but at this point, Inception will likely tie for most wins whether it be Social Network or King's Speech (unless Social wins Picture)
