"The Oscars are days away, and your favorite stars are making their picks for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress and so on. We caught up with them during awards season to ask what movies they&amp;#x27;re obsessed with, and plus, we got a little Oscar scoop while we were at it!Q: What are your Oscar favorites this year? Wendi McLendon-Covey (Bridesmaids): The Help. I think The Artist deserves it&amp;amp;#8217;s own category and should get an honorable mention just for existing. It&amp;amp;#8217;s so other that it just shouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t even compete with anything else. A lot of thoughtful movies and a lot of good lady performances, so it&amp;amp;#8217;s going to be an interesting year. We&amp;amp;#8217;re even presenting, I hear, [at the Oscars]. I&amp;amp;#8217;m going to eat a lot of cupcakes that night, let me tell you! [laughs] Kat Graham (The Vampire Diaries): Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer. I want them to win. Their performances surpassed anything I&amp;amp;#8217;ve seen. Paul Adelstein (Private Practice): Meryl [Streep]. I want her to win it. She was phenomenal in The Iron Lady. I want her to win every year. I think though that once you&amp;amp;#8217;re nominated, it&amp;amp;#8217;s anybody&amp;#x27;s game. And someone that has been nominated that many times, it&amp;amp;#8217;s a testament to her ability. She hasn&amp;amp;#8217;t won since 1982. I think she&amp;amp;#8217;s going to win. I loved Moneyball, I loved Beginners. George [Clooney] was incredible [in The Descendants]. Emmy Rossum (Shameless): Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. It was great! Confusing, but great! Judd Apatow (Producer, Bridesmaids): I loved the Beginners. And Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Maggie Grace (Breaking Dawn-Part 1): The Artist. That was such a special film. Obviously, it&amp;amp;#8217;s a beautiful film, but just to get something like that made with French actors that are relatively unknown in the US, black and white, silent, any one of those three things would get a lot of doors slammed in your face around here, so it&amp;amp;#8217;s a pretty brilliant achievement. Paul Feig (Director, Bridesmaids): I&amp;amp;#8217;m a big Moneyball fan. I really, really was taken with that film. My wife actually can&amp;amp;#8217;t stand baseball, but I&amp;amp;#8217;m like, &amp;amp;#8216;we gotta watch this because we like Brad Pitt,&amp;amp;#8217; and she was just completely sucked into it immediately, so I&amp;amp;#8217;m rooting for that one. It was a real special film. It was a great year for movies. If these answers are any indication, every category is up for grabs. However, I&amp;#x27;m thinking the winners are going to go the way of what we&amp;#x27;ve seen at the SAG Awards, Producer&amp;#x27;s Guild Awards, etc. What are you guys thinking?
