Here they are and it was hard to get categories correct:
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.
I guessed there will be 8 nominees and the all were correct. If nine, it was the correct Amour.
Director
Steven
Spielberg, Lincoln
Ben Affleck
Argo Michael Haneke, Amour
Kathryn
Bigelow, Zero Dark Thirty Benh Zeitlin, Beasts of the Southern Wild
Ang Lee,
Life of Pi
Tom Hooper,
Les Miserables David O. Russell, Silver Linings Playbook
I think it will be as the DGA said.
Well, these were the surprises, especially the first two.
Actor
Daniel
Day-Lewis, Lincoln
Denzel
Washington, Flight
John
Hawkes, The Sessions Hugh Jackman, Les Miserables
Bradley
Cooper, Silver Linings Playbook
Joaquin
Phoenix, The Master
I'm not convinced with Hugh Jackman, therefore Joaquin Phoenix.
Apparently The Sessions faded. I could have Hugh Jackman correct but then I would have missed Joaquin Phoenix.
Actress
Jessica
Chastain, Zero Dark Thirty
Jennifer
Lawrence, Silver Linings Playbook
Marion
Cotillard, Rust and Bone Quvenzhané Wallis, Beasts of the Southern Wild
Emmanuelle
Riva, Amour
Helen
Mirren, Hitchcock Naomi Watts, The Impossible
This category is the hardest acting category this year. I chose Emmanuelle Riva and Helen Mirren. There could be Naomi Watts or Quvenzhané Wallis.
Yes, they chose Naomi and Quvenzhané.
Supporting Actor
Tommy Lee
Jones, Lincoln
Alan Arkin,
Argo
Philip
Seymour Hoffman, The Master
Robert De
Niro, Silver Linings Playbook
Leonardo
DiCaprio, Django Unchained Christoph Waltz, 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.
Christoph Waltz it was, sadly for Leo (once again). But I'm so happy that Bobby and Tommy Lee Jones are back.
Supporting Actress
Anne
Hathaway, Les Miserables
Sally
Field, Lincoln
Helen Hunt,
The Sessions
Amy Adams,
The Master
Nicole Kidman,
The Paperboy Jacki Weaver, Silver Linings Playbook
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?
I would never have guessed this correct who would replace Nicole.

And then No Guts, No Glory:
Quvenzhané Wallis - best actress
Quentin Tarantino - best director
Richard Gere - best actor
First it seemed that it will be a disaster but I got 81/107 (75,7 %) which actually isn't that bad considering that the date is earlier than usual. Therefore this is hard to compare with the previous and the date stays like this in the coming years this will set the new standard. But considering the circumstances this is not that bad result. Not great either but I'm not disappointed.
Actually I checked my predictions from previous years and it seems this was one of the best years (short films lef out):
2012 - 81/107 (75,7 %)
2011 - 62/102 (66,67 %)
2010 - 82/105 (78,1 %)
2009 - 78/106 (73,58 %)
2008 - 73/97 (75,26 %)
2007 - 72/99 (72,7 %)
2006 - 65/99 (65,7 %)
2005 - 80/109 (73,39 %)
