Commentary - I think it is interesting just how close this particular race is, considering that it is Art Direction, but it has been a back and forth decision for me. After Avatar's win last year, the Academy has shown that they are not afraid to reward sci-fi/fantasy sets, so Harry Potter and Inception definitely have a shot, and I am starting to get an inkling that Inception could pull this off. As could Alice in Wonderland, another fantasy heavy film with splendid art direction,. But my guess is that all of these fantasy films cancel each other out and the more stately, and BP frontrunner The King's Speech takes the prize.
