And the award goes too...

This week I compared two critics' reviews of who they think will win on Oscar night. Looks like there are a few "sure things" as far as these critics see it. I would mostly agree with Critic #1 in his one variation for Best Supporting Actor. We will find out tonight which of these critics is correct!

Best Film: 

Argo
Argo – “…a sure thing because it seamlessly blends Hollywood satire with thrilling action, and this industry loves to honor itself for teasing itself.”
Best Director

Steven Spielberg (Lincoln) – “He hasn’t won enough to suit me. He’s the greatest filmmaker of our time … I’m glad to be alive in the Steven Spielberg era.”
Steven Spielberg (Lincoln)
Best Actor

Daniel Day-Lewis (Lincoln)
Daniel Day-Lewis (Lincoln)
Best Actress

Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook) – “She made, what was becoming for me, a rather slow moving, silly movie into something fascinating.”
Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook) – “Chastain is extraordinary in extraordinary circumstances; Lawrence is extraordinary in ordinary circumstances.”
Best Supporting Actor

Robert DeNiro (Silver Linings Playbook)
Tommy Lee Jones (Lincoln)
Best Supporting Actress

Anne Hathaway (Les Miserables)
Anne Hathaway (Les Miserables) – “she sings the remorseful “I Dreamed a Dream” all in one tear-choked take. It’s not subtle, but it’s effective, and it’s the reason she’ll win.”
