My Oscar Predictions

Slowly, but surely I'm coming to accept the fact that I might not be able to post my ranked list of favorite movies from the past year before the Academy Awards this Sunday, which is just a complete failure of my time management skills, but there it is. So instead I'll just focus on the upcoming Oscars, which means predictions!

Best Picture: 12 Years a Slave
Best Director: Alfonso Cuarón, Gravity

Tally: 7 - Gravity; 3 - 12 Years a Slave; 2 - Dallas Buyers Club, Frozen; 1 - Blue Jasmine, Captain Phillips, Her, The Great Beauty, The Great Gatsby, American Hustle, 20 Feet From Stardom, The Lady in Number 6, Get a Horse!, The Voorman Problem

So I pretty much predict Gravity mostly sweeping, which is ridiculous in the light that I also predict that it'll lose Best Picture to 12 Years a Slave! It's just that kind of year. Hell, I'm predicting American Hustle to walk away with just one win for Costume even though it's more likely it'll walk home with way more awards than that. And Barkhad Abdi over Jared Leto?! Yup, I'm clearly insane. I can't wait to see how wrong I am this year.
