Ebert Predicts Supporting Actor Upsets

As part of his annual $100,000 Outguess Ebert contest, Roger Ebert today solidified his predictions on who and what will take home Oscars on Feb. 27.

Some of his choices are destined to be reflected by Oscar voters, but others, namely the Supporting Actor and Actress categories, are real curveballs.  I don't agree with his Supporting Actor choice, but he could be right on for Supporting Actress.

The following is a list of Ebert’s Oscar predications in major categories.  For more information, click here.
