    What I know for sure is that Anne Hathaway will win best supporting actress for her role in Les Mis, she is phenomenal.

    I don’t know about the rest, but I’m calling Anne Hathaway for Best Supporting Actress. She was the best person in Les Miz. Hugh Jackman was really good, but he was like fat kid with cake and there were times he went overboard.

    I finally got around to watching Pan’s Labyrinth this week…so I’ll probably be watching this year’s nominees long about 2019. So timely.

    WTF, where is Ben Affleck nomination for the best director???? So disappointing! That movie was the best I’ve seen so far!
    Zero Dark Thirty – seriously? That movie is BORING and overrated!
    Amour is suppost to be great, but still no release in Chicago : (

    I feel like Bill Murray with his Oscar board on SNL.
    Didn’t see it.
    Didn’t see it.
    Didn’t see it.

    I’ll be surprised if Anne Hathaway doesn’t win. People may disagree but I felt she was overly melodramatic. It may sound stupid since Fantine is a tragic figure. Her death wasn’t the most moving part of the movie for me. I thought Hugh was phenomenal. He won’t win, though.

    Haven’t seen any of these, whee.
    But I don’t want Anne Hathaway to win…I’ve found her interviews for the movie sort of annoying.
    I can’t put my finger on it, and it’s odd because she’s never bothered me before, but whenever I see an interview or read one from her about Les Mis, I just roll my eyes and find something else because I just know I’m gonna be annoyed.
    It was the same feeling I had with Natalie Portman in Black Swan.

    Entertainment Weekly had a list of 25 movies to see for oscar season. I looked the list over; hadn’t seen a single one! So out of the loop.

    I did finally go see Les Miz, it was great.

    The Academy is still punishing my boyfriend for “Gigli” and “Daredevil”…. and “Pearl Harbor”…. and “Armageddon” and “Reindeer Games”.

    @chaos – I like Anne and she hasn’t bothered me because I’ve missed a lot of the interviews, but with her and Portman and Winslet (gah, WINSLET) it’s the grim march to inevitability that makes them so irksome. The studio wants them to put on their little dog and pony show but after you see it once, it gets tiresome.

    That and Natalie Portman’s a bitch according to my niece.

    (And I’m sure some guy somewhere was forced to perform like a trained poodle for his Oscar, too, probably Clooney, but I can’t remember anyone at the moment.)

    Best Picture

    I’ve seen none of these. None. I’m going to go with Lincoln but the darkhorse could be Django Unchained or Beasts of the Southern Wild.

    Best Actor

    Joaquin Phoenix deserves it based on the oversight of his past performances and the sane choice of not becoming the rapper he threatened to become. Otherwise Daniel Day-Lewis and Denzel Washington will duke it out but they already have Oscars. Darkhorse could be Hugh Jackman. I always liked his work. If you don’t think he can act, check “Kate and Leopold”. He made that preposterous plot believable. Bonus: Viola Davis plays a cop giving Jackman a ticket for dog poop.

    Best Actress

    All the critics keep talking about Quvenzhane Wallis and she’s the youngest nominee ever to boot. Emmanuelle Riva is the oldest. Either of them could get it based on the fact I doubt either will get another gig. But for some reason I think it’s Naomi Watts’ time.

    Supporting Actor

    All these guys have won Oscars already. It’s a toss up to me who should/could win.

    Supporting Actress

    I don’t know Jackie Weaver. Anne Hathaway and Amy Adams are both repeat nominees who haven’t won yet. Sally Field and Helen Hunt already have awards. I think Amy Adams will win. She’s shown some solid work the past few years (“The Fighter” anyone?) and the Academy has a history of not forgiving social faux pas such as the one Ms. Hathaway did last year by flashing her lady bits. And if you don’t think so don’t forget Russell Crowe being passed over because of a fight.

    Animated Film

    I’ve only seen Brave and Wreck-It Ralph. Brave is a Pixar film. Though Wreck-It Ralph is Walt Disney they used Pixar people and it shows. I liked Brave but I loved Wreck-It Ralph. It’s awesome for one thing – Laffy Taffy.

    Directing

    Ang Lee or Steven Spielberg. It usually follows that the director who wins also directed the best picture winner. However, Ang Lee won for “Brokeback Mountain” and “Crash” won for Best picture. Darkhorse could be Benh Zeitlin because he directed a bunch of non-actors including the five year old best actress nominee and that couldn’t have been easy.

    Original screenplay

    Just because everyone is talking about it, my guess is “Django Unchained”

    Adapted Screenplay

    Have no idea, no one stands out to me

    Original Song

    I think Skyfall should win. It made Daniel Craig cry. ‘Nuff said.

    As for the rest, don’t haven’t any idea. I can always look the results up on the net the morning after.
