How did I do with the predictions

Apparently I had enough The Imitation Game and a little too much Selma. I had a feeling about Foxcatcher that it would be a film the academy would like and I should have followed my instinct. I am surprised Amy Adams was not nominated but I knew Jennifer Aniston would not be. Best picture I got correct, original score and original screenplay and of course supporting actor (I guess everyone did).

Predictions 2014

First of all, I haven't been following anything this year. At least not that much I used to. Therefore it has been hard to pick up my predictions but here they are.

I think I have too much Selma, The Imitation Game and The Grand Budapest Hotel. But I have no idea where take them away and what to choose instead.

This is my final list:

Best animated feature film of the year

* How To Train Your Dragon 2
* The Book of Life
* The Lego Movie
* Big Hero 6
* The Boxtrolls

Performance by an actor in a leading role

* Michael Keaton - Birdman
* Eddie Redmayne - The Theory of Everything
* Benedict Cumberbatch - The Imitation Game
* Jake Gyllenhaal - Nightcrawler
* David Oyelowo - Selma

I am not sure about David Oyelowo. The fifth could be Steve Carell or maybe even Ralph Fiennes. Or maybe Jake Gyllenhaal will be left out. 

Performance by an actor in a supporting role


* J. K. Simmons - Whiplash
* Edward Norton - Birdman
* Robert Duvall - The Judge
* Ethan Hawke - Boyhood
* Mark Ruffalo - Foxcatcher

They should all get nominated. 

Performance by an actress in a leading role

* Julianne Moore - Still Alice
* Reese Witherspoon - Wild
* Felicity Jones - The Theory of Everything
* Rosamund Pike - Gone Girl
* Amy Adams - Big Eyes

My instinct tells me that Amy Adams will get in as always. Therefore Jennifer Aniston will not be nominated. 

Performance by an actress in a supporting role

* Patricia Arquette - Boyhood
* Meryl Streep - Into the Woods
* Keira Knightley - The Imitation Game
* Emma Stone - Birdman
* Jessica Chastain - A Most Violent Year

I think they all will get nominated. 

Achievement in cinematography


* Unbroken
* The Imitation Game
* Birdman
* Mr Turner
* The Grand Budapest Hotel

Achievement in costume design

* The Grand Budapest Hotel
* Into the Woods
* Maleficient
* The Imitation Game
* Selma

Achievement in directing

* Richard Linklater - Boyhood
* Alejandro G. Inarritu - Birdman
* Clint Eastwood - American Sniper
* Ava DuVernay - Selma
* Wes Anderson - The Grand Budapest Hotel

Yesterday's DGA made changes to my list. The Academy loves Clint and he will probable get nominated. I also think that they would like to nominate Ava DuVernay. 

Best documentary feature

* Life Itself
* Citizen Four
* Last Days in Vietnam
* Keep on Keepin On
* Overnighters

Achievement in film editing

* Boyhood
* Gone Girl
* The Imitation Game
* Birdman
* Whiplash

Best foreign language film of the year

* Argentina
* Estonia
* Mauritania
* Poland
* Sweden

Achievement in makeup and hairstyling

* Guardians of the Galaxy
* The Grand Budapest Hotel
* The Theory of Everything

Achievement in music written for motion pictures (Original score)


* The Grand Budapest Hotel
* Mr Turner
* The Imitation Game
* Interstellar
* The Theory of Everything

Achievement in music written for motion pictures (Original song)

* Begin Again - Lost Stars
* I'll Be Me - Not Going to Miss You
* The Lego Movie - Everything is Awesome
* Noah - Mercy Is
* Selma - Glory

Best motion picture of the year

* Boyhood
* The Imitation Game
* Birdman
* Selma
* The Theory of Everything
* Whiplash
* The Grand Budapest Hotel
* American Sniper
* (Nightcrawler)
* (Gone Girl)

I think that eight films will be nominated for best picture. If nine, Nightcrawler will be get in. If ten, Gone Girl will be number ten.

Achievement in production design

* Birdman
* The Imitation Game
* The Grand Budapest Hotel
* Interstellar
* Into the Woods

Achievement in sound editing

* American Sniper
* Dawn of Apes
* The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
* Godzilla
* Unbroken

Achievement in sound mixing

* Birdman
* American Sniper
* Interstellar
* Guardians of the Galaxy
* Unbroken

Achievement in visual effects

* Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
* Godzilla
* Guardians of the Galaxy
* The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
* Interstellar

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

• 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
