The nominations will be announced tomorrow morning so it's time for predictions. I'm betting that The Artist and Hugo will lead the way, both being films that have been widely embraced amongst the various guilds, with The Help, The Descendants, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo not far behind (and, sadly, merely one nomination for Drive). Although I don't think War Horse has enough support to get into the Picture race, I think it'll make a decent showing in the technical categories.
I'm also going out on a limb and predicting nominations for Brad Pitt as both Best Actor and Supporting Actor, and that the Academy's British members will sweep Gary Oldman into the Best Actor race (Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy hasn't received much love on this side of the Atlantic, but it's nominated for a ton of BAFTAs). Although I'm not predicting it, I wouldn't be terribly surprised to see Melissa McCarthy get a nod for Supporting Actress (most likely knocking out Janet McTeer) or Rooney Mara slipping into a Best Actress slot (knocking out either Glenn Close or Tilda Swinton).

I'd say your choices are pretty good but I would be surprised if The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was nominated for best picture.
