Oscars 2013

I actually can't believe I almost forgot to make my yearly Oscar predictions. Even though no one reads this blog, I like keeping track of it, for my own sake.

So, without further ado, my predictions (just in time before the show later tonight):

Best Picture: Argo (I really hope Zero Dark Thirty doesn't win. It's basically The Hurt Locker. Come on, Bigelow, make some new movies.)
Best Director: Steven Spielberg, Lincoln
Best Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis, Lincoln
Best Actress: Jennifer Lawrence, Silver Linings Playbook
Best Supporting Actor: Tommy Lee Jones, Lincoln
Best Supporting Actress: Anne Hathaway, Les Miserables
Best Animated Picture: Brave (though, as I mentioned in one of my previous tweets, I think Wreck-It Ralph deserves it far more)
Best Adapted Screenplay: Argo (Ben Affleck probably loves these awards)
Best Original Screenplay: Moonrise Kingdom
Best Cinematography: Life of Pi
Best Visual Effects: Life of Pi (though I'm sure people will be upset if the Hobbit or Avengers doesn't win....and while I would like Avengers to win, it probs won't)
Best Original Score: Life of Pi (I haven't actually seen Life of Pi, but I'm just going off of the other awards all these things have been nominated for)
Best Original Song: Adele, Skyfall (SKYFAAAAAAAALL)
Best Makeup/Hairstyling: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (though, if Les Mis wins, I also won't be surprised)
Best Foreign Film: Amour (come on. It was nominated for Best Picture, so it better at least win Best Foreign Film)

After this point, for me, it's a crapshoot. But, still, predictions!

Best Costume Design: Anna Karenina
Best Production Design: Anna Karenina
Best Film Editing: Argo
Best Animated Short: Paperman (it was so awesome!)
Best Sound Editing: Skyfall
Best Sound Mixing: Les Miserables
Best Documentary: Searching for Sugar Man
Best Documentary Short: Mondays at Racine
Best Live Action Short:  Curfew
