2013 Academy Awards Predictions & Wishes

I have not seen all the movies up for Oscar nominations so this list is a compilation of my own personal and very biased opinions in every category. I like guessing who actually wins compared to who I want to win. In the past I have had excellent Academy Season (such as when Lord of the Rings Return oft he King won 11 Oscars) and I have had bad years ( when 'Gran Torino' was snubbed and Sandra Bullock won Best Actress, events I will never stop complaining about).

This year I have strong opinions on certain matters, such as Daniel Day-Lewis should win Best Actor hands down for his heart breaking portrayal of Lincoln. I also would love for 'Argo' to win but Ben Affleck was snubbed for Best Director so I am uncertain that he'll win the Oscar. However, most of all I want the Disney's 'Paperman' to win Best Animated Short Film (for obvious reasons). 

And so without further adieu, here is who I think should/will take home Oscars tonight:

Best Picture:
       'Argo' (I don't think it will win but it by far the best movie I've seen all year. Lincoln might win)

Actor in a Leading Role:
        Daniel Day-Lewis (Without a single doubt in my mind)

Actress in a Leading Role:
         Jennifer Lawrence (I have no solid opinion on this, anybody could win at this point)

Actor in a Supporting Role:
         Christoph Waltz (He will probably win but I would also be happy with Tommy Lee Jones)

Actress in a Supporting Role:
          Anne Hathaway (Hands down.)

Animated Feature Film:
          'Wreck-It-Ralph' (This movie should win because it was the best but I have a feeling 'Brave' will)

Cinematography:
           'Life of Pi' (This will probably win but 'Django' equally deserves it)

Costume Design:
           'Les Miserables'

Directing:
           Steven Spielberg (Affleck & Tarantino were both snubbed, so Spielberg will easily win)

Documentary Feature Film:
           'Searching For Sugar Man' (I didn't see any of these films but this has the most buzz online)

Documentary Short:
            'Open Heart' (Same as above)

Film Editing:
            'Argo' (This film had me me literally on the edge of my seat. It NEEDS to win this.)

Foreign Language Film:

             'Amour' (This was also nominated for best picture, so it'll probably take home this category)

Makeup & Hairstyling:
              'The Hobbit' (I did not enjoy this movie but the Academy seems to like the team so perhaps)

Music:
              'Lincoln' (John Williams did the score, enough said.)

Original Song:

              'Skyfall' by Adele (I mean really, how can this song not win?)

Production Design:
              'Life of Pi'

Animated Short Film:

              'Paperman' ( 'Adam & Dog' is the only other film that could win but I would be shocked if 'Paperman' didn't win.)

Live Action Short Film:
               'Curfew' (I haven't seen any of these but this movie has the most buzz.)

Sound Editing:
                'Argo' (But 'Django' equally deserves it)

Sound Mixing:
               'Les Miserables' (They shot all the music LIVE. Seriously.) 

Visual Effects:
                'The Avengers' ('Life of Pi' might win because it's a favorite. 'The Hobbit' had horrible effects other than the scenes with Gollum.)

Adapted Screenplay:
                 'Argo'

Original Screenplay:

            'Django Unchained' (Tarantino 100% deserves this but the Oscar might go to 'Zero Dark Thirty')

Do you strongly agree or disagree with any of my predictions? Call me out! I want to know what everyone else thinks too!
