[MovieBuff801]

Considering how iffy it's all been for Les Miserables over the last few weeks, Tom Hooper getting in is a pleasant surprise.

No Tarantino, though...

[PG Cooper]

1 of my top 5 films were nominated.

[MovieBuff801]

Two of mine were.

[sshuttari]

Tarantino will get Oscars and Globes nominees. Easily!

Same. Loved Silver Linings Playbook.

[Henri Ducard]

Globe nominations already happened. And it's doubtful he'll get an Oscar nomination beyond screenwriting.

[FranklinTard]

gonna go out on a limb and say that les mis will win most of the baftas.

[Dracula]

My final Oscar nominations predictions:

Best Picture
1. "Les Misérables"
2. "Lincoln"
3. "Argo"
4. "Zero Dark Thirty"
5. "Life of Pi"
6. "Silver Linings Playbook"
7. “Django Unchained”
8. “The Master”
9. "Beasts of the Southern Wild"
10. “Amour”

Outside looking In: Skyfall and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

I don't know that there'll actually be ten nominations, but I'm just going to show ten ranked predictions. I might be out on a limb putting The Master in the top eight, but I remember regretting when I lost faith in Tree of Life and got burned, so I'm going to predict that it's stronger than the pundits think.

Best Director
1. Steven Spielberg
2. Kathryn Bigelow
3. Tom Hooper
4. Ang Lee
5. Ben Affleck

Outside Looking In: Quentin Tarentino and Michael Haneke

Best Actor
1. Daniel Day-Lewis "Lincoln"
2. Hugh Jackman “Les Misérables”
3. Denzel Washinton “Flight”
4. Joaquin Phoenix "The Master"
5. Bradley Cooper "Silver Linings Playbook"

On the outside looking in: John Hawkes "The Sessions" and Anthony Hopkins "Hitchcock"

A lot of pundits are predicting a Joaquin Phoenix snub, and they may be right, but the alternatives don't seem that much more certain to me.


Best Actress
1. Jessica Chastain "Zero Dark Thirty"
2. Jennifer Lawrence "Silver Linings Playbook"
3. Naomi Watts "The Impossible"
4. Marion Cotillard "Rust and Bone"
5. Emmanuelle Riva "Amour"

On the Outside looking in: Quvenzhané Wallis "Beasts of the Southern Wild" and Keira Knightley Anna Karenina

I'm predicting a weaker than expected showing for Beasts in general and I don't think they're going to go for Quvenzhané. Of the French women I'm leaning towards Cotillard over Riva just because she's "in the club" so to speak.

Best Supporting Actor
1. Tommy Lee Jones "Lincoln"
2. Robert De Niro "Silver Linings Playbook"
3. Alan Arkin "Argo"
4. Christoph Waltz "Django Unchained"
5. Philip Seymour Hoffman "The Master"

On the Outside Looking In: Matthew McConaughey "Magic Mike" and Leonardo DiCaprio "Django Unchained"

This one's tricky because we can't be sure which Django actor will stand out or if the three of them will cancel each other out. I went with Waltz, but I wouldn't be too shocked if both he and DiCaprio were able to make the cut.

Best Supporting Actress
1. Anne Hathaway “Les Misérables”
2. Sally Field “Lincoln”
3. Helen Hunt “The Sessions”
4. Maggie Smith “Best Exotic Marigold Hotel”
5. Judi Dench “Skyfall”

On the Outside Looking In: Nicole Kidman “The Paperboy” and Amy Adams “The Master”

Best Adapted Screenplay
1. Lincoln
2. Argo
3. Silver Linings Playbook
4. Life of Pi
5. The Deep Blue Sea

On the Outside Looking in: The Sessions and Beasts of the Southern Wild

Had a lot of trouble filling in that fifth slot, decided to go with a wild choice that no one is predicting.

Best Original Screenplay
1. Zero Dark Thirty
2. Django Unchained
3. Amour
4. Moonrise Kingdom
5. Flight

On the Outside Looking in: The Master and Looper

I could well get burned on that Flight prediction, but I feel like writers will dig that it was an original story that was more or less written on spec.

Best Cinematography
1. Les Misérables
2. Skyfall
3. Life of Pi
4. Zero Dark Thirty
5. Lincoln

On the Outside Looking In: Django Unchained and Anna Karenina

Best Costume Design
1. Anna Karenina
2. Les Misérables
3. Lincoln
4. Snow White and the Huntsman
5. Mirror Mirror

On the Outside Looking In: Django Unchained and Cloud Atlas

Best Editing
1. Zero Dark Thirty
2. Argo
3. Life of Pi
4. Les Misérables
5. Skyfall

On the Outside Looking In: Lincoln and Cloud Atlas

Best Makeup and Hairstyling
1. The Hobbit
2. Men in Black 3
3. Looper

On the Outside Looking In: Lincoln and Hitchcock

This branch, more than any other (aside from maybe costume design), does not give a **** if the movie itself is "respectable."

Best Score
1. Lincoln
2. Argo
3. Life of Pi
4. Anna Karenina
5. Beasts of the Southern Wild

On the Outside Looking In: Cloud Atlas and On the Road

Best Song
1. Brave
2. Skyfall
3. Django Unchained
4. Paul Williams Still Alive
5. Les Miserable

On the Outside Looking In: Life of Pi and Magic Mike

This category is always a crapshoot.

Best Production Design
1. Les Miserable
2. Lincoln
3. Anna Karenina
4. Django Unchained
5. Skyfall

On the Outside Looking In: Argo and Prometheus

Best Sound Editing
1. Skyfall
2. Zero Dark Thirty
3. The Avengers
4. The Dark Knight Rises
5. The Hobbit

On the Outside Looking In: Django Unchained and Life of Pi

Best Sound Mixing
1. Skyfall
2. Les Miserable
3. The Hobbit
4. Zero Dark Thirty
5. The Avengers

On the Outside Looking In: The Dark Knight Rises and Life of Pi

Best Visual Effects
1. The Avengers
2. The Hobbit
3. Life of Pi
4. Snow White and the Huntsman
5. The Amazing Spider-Man

On the Outside Looking In: Prometheus and Skyfall

Best Animated Feature
1. Wreck-it-Wralph
2. Brave
3. Frankenweenie
4. The Rabbi’s Cat

I don't know that it's a front runner to win, but I'm 100% certain it will be nominated. Old people love it.

[FranklinTard]

well yea, but you said 'ranked predictions', so i assumed you meant it as the front runner.

[Dracula]

Originally Posted by FranklinTard

Well, it is the front runner, for the nominations. Where it will be once it comes time to pick winners is entirely different.

[JBond]

Ah, that makes more sense to me now. Because I agree, that's not a front runner to win.

Good list.

[sshuttari]

Great list! When are the nominations announced

Tomorrow morning at 5:30 AM Pacific time

[sshuttari]

Coming up fast...

[Doomsday]

So what I'm gathering, just based off those I've seen, is that this is going to be the most forgettable Academy Awards since...well, The King's Speech I guess.

Tomorrow is also the Critic Choice Awards on the CW and on Sunday is the Golden Globes.

The King's Speech was a very undeserving winner but 2010, in general, was a great year and many of those films were honored. 2012, on the other hand, was a poor year for movies. It'll mostly just be remembered for The Avengers.
