Oscar Night is like the Superbowl to me. This night is definitely one of my favorites of the year. I love the evening gowns, the accolades, and most importantly: the movies! Here are my predictions for the Oscars of 2013 in the top categories:
Best Picture: This is a very tough prediction for this year. If it were up to me, I would say Silver Linings Playbook but based on the reception at other award shows, I'd say Argo
Best Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis in Lincoln
Best Actress: Jennifer Lawrence in Silver Linings Playbook
Best Supporting Actor: Tommy Lee Jones for Lincoln
Best Supporting Actress: Anne Hathaway for Les Miserables
Best Director: Stephen Spielburg for Lincoln
Have a great night at the Oscars everyone!

Les Miserables
Movie: Les Miserables
Major Actors: Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Russel Crowe, Amanda Seyfried, Helena Bonham Carter, Sacha Baron Cohen, Eddie Redmayne
Rating: PG-13
Best Audience: Teens and adults....and people who don't mind musicals.
Review:
Most people who did not like Les Miserables cited the fact that the entire movie was sung. Yes, they sing throughout the whole movie. That is a true musical. So as long as you can get past that aspect of the movie, you'll enjoy it. It was very emotional. The thing that struck me the most was the close-up shots during the very emotional songs. I thought that added to the feeling of the scenes. The story is obviously one of the most popular novels of all time. The musical itself is also known around the world. The movie is very sad, but also has a lot of happy moments. I loved it and would recommend it to anyone (as long as they enjoy musicals). If you don't enjoy musicals, read the book (which is one of the longest novels ever written).

The Dark Knight Rises
Movie: The Dark Knight Rises
Major Actors: Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordan-Levitt, Anne Hathaway, Marion Cotillard, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine
Rating: PG-13
Best Audience: Most audiences would enjoy this movie. If you're going to take children, I'd say it would be alright for kids 8 and up.
Review:
I had read many reviews and listened to many reactions of people that saw this before me. Their reactions were usually, "It's alright, but it's no Dark Knight." Therefore, I must be the only person that thought this movie was WAY BETTER than the Dark Knight. And I loved the Dark Knight. I just thought this one was so much more epic and brilliant. This was a great movie to wrap up the latest Batman trilogy. It really tied the three movies together, bringing a lot of the plot line back to the first movie, Batman Begins.
As far as the actors go, this is my favorite portrayal of Selina Kyle ("catwoman") I've ever seen. They really didn't over-do the "cat" thing. Anne Hathaway's only "cat ears" were sunglasses put back on her head. I also thought she was true to the complexity of the character, which with the character of "catwoman" has always been, "Is she good or bad?" Bane was a perfectly evil villain. Everyone seems to be talking about his voice. I thought it was a wonderful "evil villain voice." However, I thought the stand-out character of the movie was ironically Joseph Gordan-Levitt as Blake. He was so endearing and heroic, you just couldn't help but love him.
There are a lot of what I call "little surprises" in the movie, that I won't discuss on here so as not to spoil anything, but each one of them made me very excited, especially the "cameos" and twists.
To discuss some of the hype surrounding the movie, Rush Limbaugh said that naming the villain "Bane" is a "liberal conspiracy" against Mitt Romney's company, Bain Capital which is a symbol to many liberals of the failures of capitalism. Well, I hope Limbaugh sees this movie and becomes incredibly embarrassed at his comment because the main plot line of the movie is ACTUALLY anti-communist, not anti-capitalist (as Bane creates a pseudo-communist society in Gotham). So I thought that was funny.
I must also add that it is truly tragic that 71 people were shot, and some killed senselessly because they were huge fans wanting to see the most anticipated film of the year. It is very hard for most people to believe that something so tragic will forever be remembered alongside this movie.
