2013 Oscar Predictions

oscarlogoIt's that time once again for my Oscar Predictions.  Once again, I posted my picks online on the Oscar website.  However, for you old fashioned times, I will also post my picks right here. In a change of my usually routine, I will be watching the Oscars with a crowd of people at the Bloor Cinema here in Toronto.  It will likely be a more exciting experience that watching it alone at home.  Of course, this will probably mean that I will not be as active online (on Twitter et al) as I was for the past few years.  Still should be a fun experience. Anyways, here are my picks for this year.

Best Picture: Argo
It seemed like this film was down for the count when it didn't get a Best Director nomination, but countless pre-Oscar award wins suggest otherwise.

Directing: Michael Haneke, Amour
With no nomination for , and Spielberg already having some awards on the shelf, I think Haneke will get his due.

Writing (Original Screenplay): Zero Dark Thirty
It would be nice if Moonrise Kingdom won, but I'm going with the WGA winner

Writing (Adapted Screenplay): Argo
Safe to say that it will be Argo's night Actor in a Leading Role: Daniel Day-Lewis, Lincoln
He's already won nearly ever pre-Oscar award, so this is a sure thing.

Actor in a Supporting Role: , Silver Linings Playbook
This is the hardest major category this year, with every nominee having previously won. I'm going with this return-to-form for DeNiro.

Actress in a Leading Role: , Silver Linings Playbook
I wouldn't have guessed this earlier in the Awards season, but it seems like a sure bet now.

Actress in a Supporting Role: , Les Misérables
This is probably the most sure award of the entire Oscars.

Well those are the major categories. Here are the rest of my predictions:

  • Short Film (Animated): Paperman
  • Documentary (Feature): Searching for Sugar Man
  • Short Film (Live Action): Curfew
  • Documentary (Short Subject): Open Heart
  • Film Editing: Argo
  • Sound Editing: Skyfall

  • Sound Mixing: Skyfall
  • Makeup: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
  • Visual Effects: Life of Pi

  • Animated Feature Film: Wreck-It Ralph 
  • Production Design: Les Misérables
  • Cinematography: Skyfall
  • Music (Original Song): “Skyfall” from Skyfall
