Academy Awards 2012 Rest of the Awards

I don't care about most the awards. I think most people don't either and wish the academy awards was only a hour long and just did the these awards:

Best actor:
Demian Bichir (who? Never heard of this movie "A better life")
George Cloney (should win with this list of actors)
Gary Oldman (Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy) (Great performance, equal to Cloney)
These shouldn't have been nominated:
Jean Dujardin (The Artist):  Good but not great
Brad Pitt (MoneyBall) Likeable performance but not his best work.

Missing:
Kevin Spacey (Margin Call) Should be the winner, best performance of the year)
Ryan Gosling (Ides of March) Rivetting performance in a depressing movie
Daniel Craig (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo)

Best Actress: 
Rooney Mara (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo)  Should win but won't
Viola Davis (The Help) excellent performance but not the depth of Rooney
Michelle William (My week with Maryilyn)  Great job but this is a strong field
Didn't see these actresses in their movies
Meryl Streep (The Iron Lady) I heard her performance was great but the movie stunk.
Glenn Close (Albert Nobbs).  I wish I could have seen this movie, heard its great
Missing
Jessica Christain (The Debt) Nominated for supporting role in The Help instead but won't win
Saoirse Ronan (Hanna) Powerful performance.  Could win this if nominated.

Supporting Actor:
Ed Harris should win for The Way Home but not nominated :-(
James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender for X-Men First Class...again, not nominated.
I can't support any of the actors who were actually nominated.  The best was Kenneth Brannagh but I bet Max von Sydow wins because he's at the end of his career.

Supporting Actress:
Octavia Spencer stole the show in The Help and I support her winning it.  I didn't see Janet Mcteer in Albert Dobbs but the rest of the field were just okay.
Missing:
Shailene Woodley for the descendents
Anne Heche for Cedar Rapids
