The Biggest Night In Movies

The 85th Academy Awards, I mean, The Oscars are tonight! Known as the most magical night in show biz, this is takes class and elegance to a new level. While the other award shows of this season are a good time to sit at home and enjoy, the Oscars stand alone at the top. This year was not a bad year at all for movies and most of the Best Picture nominees did not even come out in theaters until September-December of last year. I have enclosed in this post some of my picks to win for tonight's main event and to spice things up a bit I figured I'd go all out and add who I think Will win and Should win and maybe even a Close Second place... Shall we?

Best Picture
Should Win: Lincoln
Will Win: Argo

Best Director
Should Win: Steven Spielberg (Lincoln)
Will Win: Steven Spielberg (Lincoln)

Best Actor in a Supporting Role
Should Win: Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained)
Will Win: Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained)

Best Actress in a Supporting Role
Should Win: Sally Field (Lincoln)
Will Win: Anne Hathaway (Les Miserables)

Best Actress in a Leading Role
Should Win: Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook)
Will Win: Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty)

Best Actor in a Leading Role
Should Win: Daniel Day-Lewis (Lincoln)
Will Win: Daniel Day-Lewis (Lincoln)

This year, like every year, there are always some talents that have seemed to have been overlooked when nominating in each category (not necessarily saying they should win). Here is a brief list of who I am in belief should be included with the nominees above:

Best Picture: Lawless

Best Actor: Jamie Foxx (Django Unchained)

Best Actor in a Supporting Role: Leonardo DiCaprio (Django Unchained), Samuel L. Jackson (Django Unchained), Guy Pearce (Lawless)


Well there you have it. A carbon copy of how exactly tonight's broadcast will go... only joking! The fun of it all is seeing the unsung heroes surprise everybody and that's the beauty of the Oscars. Thank you and see you tonight!
