Get out my gown!
Time for the Oscars, and my annual picks. Now, I do admit, I have one the pool the last three years in a row - much to the grumpy chagrins of my fellow party goers. And I enjoy the coffee money, and the 15 minutes of fame.
But will this be the year for a four-pete? Quad-pete? Forpete?
We will see.
Here's my picks as I recall them -
Best Pic: Argo
Director: Spielberg
Actor: Day Lewis (duh)
Actress: Lawrence (double-duh)
Supporting Actor: Tommy Lee Jones (this one is tight, Waltz might get it)
Supporting Actress: Hathaway (triple-duh... seems like there are a lot of faves this year)
Adapted Screenplay: Argo
Original Screenplay: Tarantino for Django (but Moonrise Kingdom should have got it)
Film Editing: Argo (I actually really like this category - best pic often wins it, too)
Foreign: Amour (I mean, what else)
Animated: Wreck-it-Ralph (tough to call - could be Brave, but I liked Ralph better)
The guess categories:
Documentary Long: Sugarman (heard it is amazing... still have not seen it)
Doc Short: Open Heart (a guess... with help of Huffington post, I admit)
Cinematography: Life of Pi
Soundrack: Pi
Song: Skyfall (pretty cool song by that Adele woman... I heard she is good)
Short Film Animated: Paperman (only one I saw)
Short Film Live: Curfew (total guess - but help from Huffington)
Production Design: Les Mis
Costume: Anna Karenina
Makeup - Hobbit
Special Effects - Pi
Sound Mixing - Les Mis
Sound Editing - Argo
So tune in tomorrow - I'll let you know how I did. Most of my guesses go along with Huffington Post predictions, but as said, this year there seems to be a lot of sure bets. I'd love some upsets.
