HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Each year we can't wait to hear those magic words "and the nominees are..." Christmas aside this truly is the most wonderful time of the year. Professionals and experts are invited to make calculated guesses and well thought out predictions on who the next Oscar winners might be. The Who's who of Hollywood walk the red carpet in beautiful evening wear while the cameras flash. In one awe inspiring room we can see the biggest stars and icons of the last 50 years. Oscar night brings us back to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. This night reminds us why we find celebrities and their lifestyle so fascinating.

This year will be no different. We asked an expert to give her thoughts on who the 2010 Oscars will go too, but this is no ordinary entertainment professional. This is celebrity psychic, Barb Powell. Some of her clients are actors, producers, and crew of hit TV shows The Mentalist, Ghost Whisperer, The West Wing and Brothers and Sisters. Her clients have also graced the big screen in blockbuster hits Star Trek, Cat and the Hat, Love Hurts and many more.

Powell has shared with us some of her predictions in the top Academy Award categories... and the Oscar goes too:

Best Picture: Avatar

"Of course I don't need to be psychic to see this," shared Powell. "Avatar will pretty much sweep the Oscars."

Best Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz, Inglourious Basterds

Best Supporting Actress: Mo'Nique, Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire

Best Writing (Original Screenplay): Mark Boal, The Hurt Locker
