Here are my predictions for the 2013 Academy Awards. They aren't exactly who I want to win but how I think the Academy will vote. For me the best film from the last 12 months was Moonrise Kingdom, however this is only nominated in one category (shame on you, shame on you all at the Academy), Best Original Screenplay and I think Django will walk away with that one.
I do hope Daniel Day-Lewis makes it a hat trick of Oscar's. It is very difficult to find a better performance than his in the brilliant Lincoln. I also expect, like most, that Anne Hathaway will win for Best Supporting Actress. She is simply fantastic in Les Miserables. As Ben Affleck didn't get a nod in the Best Director category I expect the voters to be sympathetic and give Argo the Oscar for Best Picture.
Jennifer Lawrence was excellent in Silver Linings Playbook but has she done enough to fight of tough competition from the wonderful Emmanuelle Riva? We will have to wait and see. I think Spielberg will take Best Director for Lincoln but I wouldn't be upset if David O. Russell gets his hands on the Award. Christoph Waltz was just brilliant in Django, he was the highlight of that film and completely deserves to win.
Argo has done very well in picking up many awards but I'm not convinced that the Academy will follow the trend. As I said I do think it will win Best Picture but I don't expect much more than that. Then again I could be completely off the mark just look stupid after the golden statues have been handed out. If that's the case then all I can say is Argo fuck yourself!
