I've been considering many of the nominees ever since they were announced, but here's my list - even though this will not come to pass in it's complete form come the night of the ceremony.
Best Actor - Jeff Bridges for "Crazy Heart"
Best Supporting Actor - Stanley Tucci for "The Lovely Bones"
Best Actress - Gabourey Sidibe for "Precious"
Best Supporting Actress - Maggie Gyllenhaal for "Crazy Heart"
Best Animated Feature - The Princess And The Frog
Art Direction - The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus ( Dave Warren and Anastasia Masaro; Set Decoration: Caroline Smith )
Cinematography - The Hurt Locker ( Barry Ackroyd )
Costume Design - The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus ( Monique Prudhomme )
Best Director - The Hurt Locker ( Kathryn Bigelow )
Best Documentary - The Cove
Best Original Score - Hans Zimmer ( Sherlock Holmes )
Best Original Song - The Weary Kind ( Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett )
Best Picture - The Hurt Locker
Sound Editing - Star Trek
Sound Mixing - Srar Trek
Best Visual Effects - Avatar
Best Adapted Screenplay - Up In The Air ( Jason Reitman and Sheldon Turner )
Best Original Screenplay - A Serious Man ( Joel Coen & Ethan Coen )
..........and can I just say that even though I love Tarantino, his nomination for "Best Original Screenplay" is not only a poor choice but has been place in the wrong category, as he based his film on a previous Italian film.
Certainly, the two are quite different, but it's safe to say that since Tarantino got his inspiration from the Italian film and created something new from it ( see Charlie Kaufman's revisualization of the book The Orchid Thief ) he shouldn't be nominated in the original category.
