I've only seen a few of the nominated films, but here are some predictions anyway:

 

Best Picture - 12 Years A Slave

 

Best Actor - Matthew McConaughey

 

Best Actress - Cate Blanchett

 

Best Supporting Actor - Jared Leto

 

Best Supporting Actress - Jennifer Lawrence

 

Best Director - Alfonso Cuaron (Gravity)

 

Best Adapted Screenplay - Captain Phillips

 

Best Original Screenplay - Her

 

Best Visual Effects - Gravity

 

Best Cinematography - Gravity

 

I haven't even seen 12 Years yet, so I'm just basing that one off the hype. I also haven't seen American Hustle yet, but I heard that Lawrence was outstanding, and even though she just won one I think it's between her and Lupita Nyong'o for this one. Since I haven't seen either movie, I'm basically just guessing there.

 

All my other predictions are from films I've seen so I'm probably pretty biased towards them, but I'm hoping to see a few others before Oscar night.

 

Anyway, who do y'all think will win? Who do y'all think should win?

I bet Phillip Seymour Hoffman wins the tribute segment.

 

I think he may not even get a mention. If I recall from the past, I think the tributes are for the year 2013, so he would be honored at the 2015 Oscars, having died in 2014. If so it will certainly be confusing as people wonder why they skipped him. Maybe they've amended that by now though.

That's a great article. Also we do get some decent discussions in the specific threads like True Detective and Game of Thrones, when they're on. Frankly though this forum lives and dies with JJJ. I think he knows how important he is, which is why he keeps coming back.
