I'm bored and feel like posting this, see if we can get a discussion started.
Best Director Nominees
Michael Haneke- Amour
Ang Lee- Life of Pi
David O Russell- Silver Linings Playbook
Steven Spielberg- Lincoln
Benh Zeitlin- Beasts of the Southern Wild
Who should win?: BEN FUCKING AFFLECK. Seriously, go fuck yourself Academy. When you pull your heads out of your collective asses you'll see you missed the 3! best directing performances of the year: Affleck, Tom Hooper and Kathryn Bigelow.
Who's going to win?: Spielberg, even though he should immeadiately mail it to Affleck's house.
Best Supporting Actor Nominees
Tommy Lee Jones- Lincoln
Robert De Niro- Silver Linings Playbook
Phillip Seymour Hoffman- The Master
Christoph Waltz- Django Unchained
Alan Arkin- Argo
Who both Should and Will Win: If you want to make a case for Jones, I won't argue too strenuously with you. But, and I'm taking all bias out of this, most of you know De Niro is one of my 5 favorite actors of all time and he deserves the statue here.
Best Supporting Actress Nominees
Anne Hathaway- Les Miserables
Sally Field- Lincoln
Helen Hunt- The Sessions
Amy Adams- The Master
Jacki Weaver- Silver Linings Playbook
Who Should and Who Will win: Field, Weaver and Hunt all gave outstanding performances, but this is Hathaway's year.
Best Actor Nominees
Daniel Day Lewis- Lincoln
Bradley Cooper- Silver Linings Playbook
Hugh Jackman- Les Miserables
Joaquin Phoenix- The Master
Denzel Washington- Flight
Who Should Win?: Everyone in the English speaking world knows who's going to win this, but in my opinion, I didn't see a single better performance on screen in 2012 than Bradley Cooper.
Who's going to win?: Daniel Day Lewis, duh.
Best Actress Nominees
Jennifer Lawrence- Silver Linings Playbook
Jessica Chastain- Zero Dark 30
Emanuelle Riva- Amour
Naomi Watts- The Impossible
Quvenzhane Wallis- Beasts of the Southern Wild
Who Should and Who Will win: It's a coin flip between Chastain and Lawrence, both were fucking fantastic. I'm going Chastain just barely because I (and I think the Academy voters will) want to give something to Zero Dark Thirty.
Best Picture Nominees
Argo
Silver Linings Playbook
Lincoln
Zero Dark Thirty
Les Miserables
Life of Pi
Django Unchained
Amour
Beasts of the Southern Wild
Who should win?: (Whedon Fanboyism) Really? You couldn't give the tenth slot to the Avengers?(/Whedon Fanboyism)
Who's going to win?: Argo, deservedly
