Throughout awards season, the only show I really give a hoot about is the Academy Awards (see if our Oscar hairstyle predictions came true -- we sure didn't predict the fate of Sandra Bullock's marriage though … ). Not only do I give a hoot about the Oscars, but I make a point to prepare for them by seeing as many academy-nominated films as possible beforehand (I covet "Inglourious Basterds" Diane Kruger's tousled waves, seen in this photo). And then on the night of the show, I print out ballots for pre-voting and betting (yes, I'm that serious about it) with my friends. This year -- and always -- there were the shoo-ins mixed with the unexpected.

Kinda like the results for the 2010 TotalBeauty.com Awards. Out of the three main categories: Hair, Makeup, and Skin & Body (57 categories of beauty products total), some of the usual suspects won, but there were a few surprises. Here's a sneak peek at an Editors' Pick and Readers' Choice winner from each main category:
