Oscar Predictions 2013

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!

Argo

Movie:  Argo
Major Actors: Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston, Alan Arkin, John Goodman
Rating: R
Best Audience:  Adults

Review:

Argo is a captivating and interesting film.  Ben Affleck does a great job as director and star of the movie, which is set during the Iranian hostage crisis.  Every moment of the film gives you the feeling of urgency and intensity.  Historically, the details are embellished (especially the airport scene at the end).  However, it is an exciting movie.  Whether or not you lived during the Iranian hostage crisis, or have studied it at all, you should enjoy this film.
