Today is Oscar Sunday! It is my absolute favorite day of the year and I am taking the whole day off to enjoy it! I'm not even going to let myself feel guilty about it. When I had a job I requested the day off every year and everyone laughed at me... you all have your Super Bowl, but today is my day! Anyways, as I do every year I watched all the movies and I am going to share my Oscar predictions.
Best Picture
Amour
Argo
Beasts of the Southern Wild
Les Miserables
Lincoln
Silver Linings Playbook
Zero Dark Thirty
Life of Pi
Django Unchained
I think Argo is going to take it this year! The whole rest of the show will either all go to Les Mis or all go to Lincoln, but I think Argo is going to surprise us all. It was such an intense movie! The acting was great, and Ben Affleck is a wonderful director! To those of you who haven't seen it Argo F&%k Yourself! (Those of you who have seen Argo know what this means. If you don't go watch the film. I promise I'm not insulting you.)
Best Actor
Bradley Cooper Silver Linings Playbook
Daniel Day Lewis Lincoln
Hugh Jackman Les Miserables
Joaquin Pheonix The Master
Denzel Washington Flight
This category makes me mad because I want Hugh Jackman to win so badly! Have you seen Le Mis? He totally deserves it... but it's going to go to Daniel Day Lewis. His portrayal of Abraham Lincoln was beyond amazing! He has got to be one of the greatest living actors of our time. I did not feel like I was watching a movie! I felt like I was watching Lincoln pass the 13th Amendment. It's a shame because this will be his third Oscar and Hugh has never won, but if you are in a category with Daniel Day Lewis you don't stand a chance. Denzel Washington was insane in Flight by the way! Do yourself a favor and see it. Why John Goodman wasn't nominated, I'll never know.
Best Supporting Actor
Alan Arkin Argo
Robert De Niro Silver Linings Playbook
Phillip Seymoure Hoffman The Master
Tommy Lee Jones Lincoln
Christoph Waltz Django Unchained
Christoph Waltz is AMAZING! If he doesn't win I'll cry! If you can handle violence go see Djano Unchained if only for Christoph. By the way Leo should have been nominated as well...
Best Actress
Jessica Chastain Zero Dark Thirty
Jennifer Lawrence Silver Linings Playbook
Emmanuelle Riva Amour
Quvenzhane Wallis Beasts of the Southern Wild
Naomi Watts The Impossible
I couldn't care less about this category this year. Everyone's acting was great, but none of them really deserve an Oscar in my opinion, except Naomi Watts, but I'm sure it'll go to Jennifer Lawrence. I don't think she deserves it for this movie and I don't think she's paid her dues, but whatever. Jessica Chastain is the next big it girl by the way.
Best Supporting Actress
Amy Adams The Master
Sally Fields Lincoln
Anne Hathaway Le Miserables
Helen Hunt The Sessions
Jackie Weaver Silver Linings Playbook
There are certain years where you just know that someone is going to win. It is their year... It is their night. Like in 2001 when you just knew Julia Roberts was going to win for Eric Brockovich, or 2010 when it was practically certain that Sandra Bullock was going to win for The Blind Side. This year is the year of Anne. She is going to take it for Le Miserables if only for I Dreamed a Dream. She... was... BRILLIANT!
Animated Feature
Brave
Frankenweenie
ParaNorman
The Pirates Band of Misfits
Wreck it Ralph
This is the first year that I have watched all the animated films and I really enjoyed them all. I hope ParaNorman wins because it was made in Portland, but I think it'll go to Frankenweenie.
I also predict that Seth McFarland will suck as an Oscar host, that winners will talk way past the music, that Jessica Chastain will be one of the best dressed, Joaquin Pheonix will not shave, and Daniel Day Lewis will no doubt be in some awful velvet suit. Now I am off to party it up with Joan and Melissa for the red carpet pre-show, and then on to the main event! Happy Oscar day everyone!
