My predictions are here

My predictions are here. It seems that the early date makes this all very difficult. Many guilds are still missing and therefore there are not that many clues. Therefore this is pretty much guesswork, more than even. Usually it's just hard to decide but now there is just your own hunch.

Let's try this like this system this year but I think it would have been better for me if the nominations would be announced next Tuesday:

Best Picture


Argo
Lincoln
Silver Linings Playbook
Life of Pi
Les Miserables
Django Unchained
Zero Dark Thirty
Beasts of the Southern Wild
Amour
The Master

I think there will be probably 8 nominees, if nine count in Amour, if ten count in The Master.

Director
Steven Spielberg, Lincoln
Ben Affleck Argo
Kathryn Bigelow, Zero Dark Thirty
Ang Lee, Life of Pi
Tom Hooper, Les Miserables

I think it will be as the DGA said.

Actor
Daniel Day-Lewis, Lincoln
Denzel Washington, Flight
John Hawkes, The Sessions
Bradley Cooper, Silver Linings Playbook
Joaquin Phoenix, The Master

I'm not convinced with Hugh Jackman, therefore Joaquin Phoenix.

Actress
Jessica Chastain, Zero Dark Thirty
Jennifer Lawrence, Silver Linings Playbook
Marion Cotillard, Rust and Bone
Emmanuelle Riva, Amour
Helen Mirren, Hitchcock

This category is the hardest acting category this year. I chose Emmanuelle Riva and Helen Mirren. There could be Naomi Watts or Quvenzhané Wallis.

Supporting Actor
Tommy Lee Jones, Lincoln
Alan Arkin, Argo
Philip Seymour Hoffman, The Master
Robert De Niro, Silver Linings Playbook
Leonardo DiCaprio, Django Unchained

I'm sticking with Leo but of course it could be Christoph Waltz. Also Javier Bardem could be nominated as there is an uplift with the Bond movies.

Supporting Actress
Anne Hathaway, Les Miserables
Sally Field, Lincoln
Helen Hunt, The Sessions
Amy Adams, The Master
Nicole Kidman, The Paperboy

Nicole Kidman can be dropped but all the rest should be in. I think Nicole is the best choice for the last spot, but maybe Maggie Smith?

Mark Boal, Zero Dark Thirty
Wes Anderson, Roman Coppola, Moonrise Kingdom
Michael Haneke, Amour
