• Best Original Song: “Let It Go,” FROZEN, Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Robert Lopez
• Best Documentary Short: The Lady in Number 6
• Best Animated Short: Mr Hublot
• Best Live Action Short: Helium

I made my new prediction record 21/24. I only missed editing (mine was Captain Phillips), animated short film (mine was Get a Horse!) and live action short film (mine was The Voorman Problem). I could have chosen correct ones with editing and live action short film; bad instinct! But the animated short film, never.

Anyway, this year was very easy year with predicting the winners. The consensus with the most categories was very strong and no surprises except animated short film. I am sure that there are many people with 23/24 correct and always there is someone with 24/24, which is always unbelievable!

Tomorrow is a great day to start a new season!

Final predictions for the Oscars 2013

There seems to be general consensus concerning the acting and directing awards; I do not disagree. In many other categories the general predictions are pretty much the same. We will see what happens.

Here are my final predictions with some comments in some categories:

Best animated feature film of the year
* Frozen *

Performance by an actor in a leading role
* Matthew McConaughey - Dallas Buyers Club *

Performance by an actor in a supporting role

* Jared Leto - Dallas Buyers Club *

Performance by an actress in a leading role
* Cate Blanchett - Blue Jasmine *

Performance by an actress in a supporting role
* Lupita Nyong'o - 12 Years A Slave *

Achievement in cinematography

* Gravity *

Achievement in costume design
* The Great Gatsby *

Achievement in directing
* Alfonso Cuaron - Gravity *

Best documentary feature
* 20 Feet From Stardom *

Best documentary short subject
* The Lady in Number Six: Music Saved My Life *

Achievement in film editing
* Captain Phillips *

This could be Gravity but I cannot disagree with the Ace Eddies. Therefore Captain Phillips.

Best foreign language film of the year
* Italy *

According to the recent years this award could go to anyone but Italy seems fine to me at the moment.

Achievement in makeup and hairstyling
* Dallas Buyers Club *

Achievement in music written for motion pictures (Original score)

* Gravity *

Achievement in music written for motion pictures (Original song)
* Frozen - Let it Go *

Best motion picture of the year
* 12 Years A Slave *

I think 12 Years A Slave suits to the Academy better than any of the competitors. American Hustle seems to be fading and Gravity would need a nomination in the screenplay category as the space films do not mix well with the Academy.

Achievement in production design
* The Great Gatsby *

Best animated short film
* Get a Horse! *



Best live action short film

* The Voorman Problem *

Achievement in sound editing
* Gravity *

Achievement in sound mixing
* Gravity *

Achievement in visual effects
* Gravity *

Adapted screenplay

* John Ridley - 12 Years a Slave *

This could be Captain Phillips as it won the WGA but this usually goes to the Best Picture winner and 12 Years a Slave won the Scripter award.

Original screenplay
* Spike Jonze - Her *

This could be American Hustle but I am sticking with Her as it won the WGA, the Golden Globe and the Critics Choice award. Of course if American Hustle wins the Best Picture this could be theirs but Her seems to be fine right now.

Alfonso Cuarón wins DGA

Directors Guild winners are:

• Feature Film: Alfonso Cuarón, Gravity
•  Documentary: Jehane Noujaim, The Square

PGA winners

Producers Guild Award Winners:
Best Picture: Gravity and 12 Years a Slave
Documentary: We Steal Secrets
Animated Motion Picture: Frozen

How did I do with the predictions

Well, this is interesting. This morning I had less than an hour time to make my list. I had 9 categories in pretty shape and the others - well, non-existing. I am very surprised that this year went pretty ok after all.

About the nominations in general, it's really great that they differ from the consensus and there might be even surprises. Of course I would have loved to see Emma Thompson, Robert Redford and Tom Hanks nominated, but maybe next year!

Actor in a Leading Role

• Christian Bale in “American Hustle”(Tom Hanks - Captain Phillips)
• Bruce Dern in “Nebraska”
• Leonardo DiCaprio in “The Wolf of Wall Street” (Robert Redford - All is Lost)
• Chiwetel Ejiofor in “12 Years a Slave”
• Matthew McConaughey in “Dallas Buyers Club”
  
  Oh, this is so great to see Leo getting nominated. I didn't think this could happen.  

Actor in a Supporting Role

• Barkhad Abdi in “Captain Phillips”
• Bradley Cooper in “American Hustle”
• Michael Fassbender in “12 Years a Slave”
• Jonah Hill in “The Wolf of Wall Street”(Daniel Brühl - Rush)
• Jared Leto in “Dallas Buyers Club”
  
  Jonah Hill was on everyone's  nominations list last autumn but he fell out as there was no buzz. Apparently there is much love towards The Wolf of Wall Street than anyone expected. Way to go, Marty!

Actress in a Leading Role

• Amy Adams in “American Hustle” (Emma Thompson - Saving Mr Banks)
• Cate Blanchett in “Blue Jasmine”
• Sandra Bullock in “Gravity”
• Judi Dench in “Philomena”
• Meryl Streep in “August: Osage County”
  
  This went exactly as I expected: Amy Adams sneaked as she always does. This time it was Emma Thompson who was dropped out; I knew it would not be Meryl! This isn't exactly no guts, no glory -situation as I could not add Amy just because I just didn't know who to drop from list (except that it would be Meryl as many seem to expect - and she wasn't)!

Actress in a Supporting Role

• Sally Hawkins in “Blue Jasmine”(Oprah Winfrey - Lee Daniels' The Butler)
• Jennifer Lawrence in “American Hustle”
• Lupita Nyong’o in “12 Years a Slave”
• Julia Roberts in “August: Osage County”
• June Squibb in “Nebraska”
  
  I didn't see this coming but apparently The Butler had no love at all. Often it happens that very strong female lead brings along a supporting actress nomination.

Animated Feature Film

• “The Croods” Chris Sanders, Kirk DeMicco and Kristine Belson
• “Despicable Me 2” Chris Renaud, Pierre Coffin and Chris Meledandri
• “Ernest & Celestine” Benjamin Renner and Didier Brunner (Monsters University)
• “Frozen” Chris Buck, Jennifer Lee and Peter Del Vecho
• “The Wind Rises” Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki

Cinematography

• “The Grandmaster” Philippe Le Sourd (12 Years a Slave)
• “Gravity” Emmanuel Lubezki
• “Inside Llewyn Davis” Bruno Delbonnel
• “Nebraska” Phedon Papamichael
• “Prisoners” Roger A. Deakins

Costume Design

• “American Hustle” Michael Wilkinson
• “The Grandmaster” William Chang Suk Ping (Saving Mr Banks)
• “The Great Gatsby” Catherine Martin
• “The Invisible Woman” Michael O’Connor (The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug)
• “12 Years a Slave” Patricia Norris 

Directing

• “American Hustle” David O. Russell
• “Gravity” Alfonso Cuarón
• “Nebraska” Alexander Payne (Paul Greengrass - Captain Phillips)
• “12 Years a Slave” Steve McQueen
• “The Wolf of Wall Street” Martin Scorsese
  
  Well, it was good to trust the DGA for Marty but I didn't see Paul Greengrass dropping out.

Documentary Feature

• “The Act of Killing”Joshua Oppenheimer and Signe Byrge Sørensen
• “Cutie and the Boxer” Zachary Heinzerling and Lydia Dean Pilcher (Stories We Tell)
• “Dirty Wars” Richard Rowley and Jeremy Scahill (Blackfish)
• “The Square” Jehane Noujaim and Karim Amer
• “20 Feet from Stardom” Nominees to be determined

Documentary Short Subject

• “CaveDigger” Jeffrey Karoff
• “Facing Fear” Jason Cohen
• “Karama Has No Walls” Sara Ishaq
• “The Lady in Number 6: Music Saved My Life” Malcolm Clarke and Nicholas Reed
• “Prison Terminal: The Last Days of Private Jack Hall” Edgar Barens
  
  No predictions in this category.

Film Editing

• “American Hustle” Jay Cassidy, Crispin Struthers and Alan Baumgarten
• “Captain Phillips” Christopher Rouse
• “Dallas Buyers Club” John Mac McMurphy and Martin Pensa (The Wolf of Wall Street)
• “Gravity” Alfonso Cuarón and Mark Sanger
• “12 Years a Slave” Joe Walker

Foreign Language Film

• “The Broken Circle Breakdown” Belgium
• “The Great Beauty” Italy
• “The Hunt” Denmark
• “The Missing Picture” Cambodia (Hungary)
• “Omar” Palestine

Makeup and Hairstyling

• “Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa” Stephen Prouty (The Great Gatsby)
• “The Lone Ranger” Joel Harlow and Gloria Pasqua-Casny (The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug)
  
  This is new, nothing correct. Usually there is atleast one film that is obvious for this category but this time. Zero.

Music (Original Score)

• “The Book Thief” John Williams
• “Gravity” Steven Price
• “Her” William Butler and Owen Pallett (Captain Phillips)
• “Philomena” Alexandre Desplat (12 Years a Slave)
• “Saving Mr. Banks” Thomas Newman

Music (Original Song)

• “Alone Yet Not Alone” from “Alone Yet Not Alone”
  Music by Bruce Broughton; Lyric by Dennis Spiegel (The Great Gatsby)
• “Happy” from “Despicable Me 2”
  Music and Lyric by Pharrell Williams (12 Years a Slave)
• “Let It Go” from “Frozen”
  Music and Lyric by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez
• “The Moon Song” from “Her”
  Music by Karen O; Lyric by Karen O and Spike Jonze
• “Ordinary Love” from “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom”
  Music by Paul Hewson, Dave Evans, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen; Lyric by Paul Hewson

• “12 Years a Slave” Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, Steve McQueen and Anthony Katagas, Producers
• “The Wolf of Wall Street” Nominees to be determined
  
  This is so funny! This year this category seemed to be completely open but I got everything correct. My prediction was that there would be 9 nominees and so there were. And this is the only category that I got this year completely correct.

My predictions

Here they are, my predictions. Not enough time, not a clue, as usual. But this will have to do this time.

Best animated feature film of the year
* Despicable Me 2

* The Croods
* Frozen
* Monsters University
* The Wind Rises

Performance by an actor in a leading role
* Bruce Dern - Nebraska
* Chiwetel Ejiofor - 12 Years a Slave
* Tom Hanks - Captain Phillips
* Matthew McConaughey - Dallas Buyers Club
* Robert Redford - All Is Lost

I would love to see Leonardo DiCaprio nominated but I don't see it happening. The HFPA loves him as always but the love does not unfortunately seem to move to the Oscars as well.

Performance by an actor in a supporting role

* Barkhad Abdi - Captain Phillips
* Bradley Cooper - American Hustle
* Michael Fassbender - 12 Years A Slave
* Daniel Brühl - Rush
* Jared Leto - Dallas Buyers Club

James Gandolfini is still possible but I don't have very strong feeling he would get in. I think the buzz should be stronger.

Performance by an actress in a leading role
* Cate Blanchett - Blue Jasmine
* Sandra Bullock - Gravity
* Judi Dench - Philomena
* Meryl Streep - August: Osage County
* Emma Thompson - Saving Mr Banks

I am pretty sure that Amy Adams sneaks in as she always does. I just don't know who I should leave out. I don't think it will Meryl but who else? Therefore I must leave out Amy.

Performance by an actress in a supporting role
* Jennifer Lawrence - American Hustle
* Lupita Nyong'o - 12 Years A Slave
* Julia Roberts - August: Osage County
* June Squibb - Nebraska
* Oprah Winfrey - Lee Daniels' The Butler

Achievement in cinematography

* Gravity
* Inside Llewyn Davis
* Nebraska
* Prisoner

Achievement in costume design
* American Hustle

* Saving Mr Banks
* 12 Years A Slave
* The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Achievement in directing
* Alfonso Cuaron - Gravity
* Paul Greengrass - Captain Phillips
* Steve McQueen - 12 Years a Slave
* David O. Russell - American Hustle
* Martin Scorsese - The Wolf of Wall Street

This is probably not the year that Marty gets nominated but somehow I must stick to DGA nominations. We will see how the Academy likes The Wolf of Wall Street.

Best documentary feature
* Blackfish
* The Act of Killing
* Stories We Tell
* The Square
* 20 Feet From Stardom


Achievement in film editing
* American Hustle
* 12 Years A Slave

* Saving Mr Banks
* The Book Thief

Achievement in music written for motion pictures (Original song)
* Frozen - Let it Go
* Mandela - Ordinary Love
* The Great Gatsby - Young and Beautiful
* Her - The Moon Song
* 12 Years A Slave - My Lord Sunshine

Best motion picture of the year
* 12 Years A Slave
* American Hustle
* Captain Phillips
* Dallas Buyers Club
* Gravity
* Her
* Nebraska
* Philomena
* The Wolf of Wall Street

(* Saving Mr Banks) if ten

There are more uncertain best picture nominees than usual. I really don't have a clue about the nominees 7 - 10. The names are in alphabetical order and Saving Mr Banks gets in if there are 10 nominees.


Achievement in production design
* American Hustle
* Gravity
* The Great Gatsby
* 12 Years A Slave
* The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug


Achievement in sound editing
* All is Lost

* Lone Survivor
* 12 Years A Slave

Achievement in visual effects

* Gravity
* The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
* Iron Man 3
* Pacific Rim

Adapted screenplay
