Who do you think takes home the big prizes tonight?
I've seen 7 of the 9 best movie candidates (haven't seen Les Miserables or Amour) . I've seen all the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor performances. I did not see The Impossible, The Sessions, or the already mentioned Amour and Les Miserables so didn't see all the Best Actress and Supporting Actress roles. I saw Brave and Frankenweenie, so I missed 3 of the Best Animated films.
I think Lincoln will win best Picture, Spielberg best Director, and DDL best Actor, and honestly that's going to be a big shame. It's not that i think Lincoln is bad, but of the 7 I've seen, I think it's the 7th best movie. I honestly thought the other 6 were better. My wife saw all 7 I did plus Les Miserables and still says it's the best she's seen, plus Hugh Jackman should win Best Actor.
Personally in the ones I've seen, I'd give it to Cooper. For best Actress I'd give it to Quvenzhané Wallis of Beasts of the Southern Wild.
For Best Supporting Actor, Tommy Lee Jones or Alan Arkin will likely win it and again, I think they are both the least deserving. It first should go to Christoph Waltz or Phillip Seymour Hoffman. De Niro did well but like TLJ and AA, he was playing a role he seemingly has played serveral times. I like TLJ but he was essentially being TLJ again, and Arkin's role was ok but honestly not very memorable.
Best Supporting Actress, any of the 5 except Sally Field. I thought she was seriously overacting most of the time.
Basically I think tonight there's a decent chance Lincoln racks up a lot of Oscars but honestly it's by far the most overrated of the contenders.
