Ok, so I always love predicting the winners of the Academy Awards every year, and this year is no exception! This has been a fairly good year for movies-- a lot better than last year, anyway, which was pretty unmemorable.
So, here is a list of nominees from moviephone.com, with my picks for winner highlighted. Some of them are guesses-- Best Supporting Actress, for example. From what I've seen, and the reviews I've read, it really seems to be a toss-up. But for now, I'll go with Steinfeld. Also, I really am not sure about Best Original Song. I love Randy Newman, and his song for Toy Story 3, but he has been nominated for an almost record number of times without winning, and most of his songs are very similar.
For Foreign Language Film, "In A Better World" seems to be another high choice among judges, but I'm still going to go with Biutiful, because it really seems to be a popular favorite, and the Best Actor nomination can't hurt.
Finally, for Best Original Score (yayy!), I'm sticking with my buddy Desplat. It's really about time that he won his much-deserved Academy Award, and I've been with him through good times (Benjamin Button, which won several awards the year it was released, excluding the Oscar), difficult times (The Queen, which is my favorite score of Desplat's, nominated for an Oscar the year that the stupid score to Babel won), and silly times (yes, he did in fact write a score for one of the Twilight movies. Then again, so did Howard Shore. I like to think they felt sorry for poor, poor quality of the movies and wanted to help out a little with that). Anyway, it's time for him to finally win one. :)
(btw, sorry for the bad html. I did delete a few categories that I don't really know anything about, and that plus highlighting the "winner" names kind of messed with everything. For Best Animated Short, which I did not mean to delete, I am naturally going to choose
Night and Day.)
