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.”
