Oscar predictions?

Are you planning on watching the Oscars?  Is there a category you really care about, or a prediction you'd like to share? 

By the way, is the ceremony starting at 8:30 this year?  Thanks.

Re: Oscar predictions?

  • I always watch them, so yes, for sure.  The only year I didn't was 2008 and I was in labor...but I DVR'd them and watched them later. 

    I don't necessarily have a favorite category, but I do like the ones that a lot of people don't care about.  I like the entire process of making a movie and realize the importance of the little things. The Oscar that a sound engineer wins is the same as the one that George Clooney wins. 

    I'm still working on my predictions, but as of right now, I'm thinking the acting will go: George over Jean, Meryl over Viola, Christopher Plummer, and Octavia Spencer.  I've got a few more movies to see before I can complete my list.

  • I'm very excited about this year's awards.  I'm most excited about the acting and screenwriting awards.  I also pick George, Plummer and Spencer but I think it's a complete toss-up between Meryl and Viola (although personally I'd love to see Michelle Williams pull an upset -- love her!).

  • I think that Original Screenplay is really up in the air.  I keep going back and forth between two of them.  I may just wait until the writer's guild gives its award(s).

    Two of the acting awards are locked; the other two could go either way.  I really hope I am not making a mistake because that's a four or five point category.  I'm pretty sure I have picture, director, and original screenplay right.

    I have no idea about the technical awards... I hope that Hugo wins something.  I really have no idea whether it's Moneyball or Descendants for adapted screenplay.  If there's a huge Artist juggernaut, it could pull Original Screenplay... but I doubt it.

    The predicting is the most fun for me.  I find the actual ceremony somewhat boring, esp. during the 'dead zone' before the final hour.
