Well, it's Oscar time, again. As always, before the big dance, we got to think about who going with somebody who's speechless and golden (if you know what I mean). I may not see a lot of the nominated films lately, but I got to think who's worthy to take home an Oscar this coming Sunday. Now, here are my picks.
Best Picture:
-American Hustle
-Captain Phillips
-Dallas Buyers Club
-Gravity
-Her
-Nebraska
-Philomena
-12 Years a Slave
-The Wolf of Wall Street
Should Win: All the big momentum in the past weeks have been focused on 12 Years a Slave, but I think Gravity should have a surprise win.
Could Win: Slave could still have a chance.
Best Actor:
-Christian Bale, American Hustle
-Bruce Dern, Nebraska
-Leonardo DiCaprio, The Wolf of Wall Street
-Chiwetel Ejiofor, 12 Years a Slave
-Matthew McConaughey, Dallas Buyer Club
Should Win: Let's hear a "all right, all right, all right!" McConaughey got this one in the bag.
Could Win: McConaughey
Best Actress:
-Amy Adams, American Hustle
-Cate Blanchett, Blue Jasmine
-Sandra Bullock, Gravity
-Judi Dench, Philomena
-Meryl Streep, August: Osage Country
Should Win: Woody Allen's recent troubles could give voters some thoughts about Blanchett, but Bullock could score another surprise Oscar.
Could Win: Then again, Blanchett could still be possible.
Best Supporting Actor:
-Barkhad Abdi, Captain Phillips
-Bradley Cooper, American Hustle
-Michael Fassbender, 12 Years a Slave
-Jonah Hill, The Wolf of Wall Street
-Jared Leto, Dallas Buyer Club
Should Win: Here's hoping a comeback standing ovation for Leto, come Sunday
Could Win: Leto
Best Supporting Actress:
-Sally Hawkins, Blue Jasmine
-Jennifer Lawrence, American Hustle
-Lupita Nyong'o, 12 Years a Slave
-Julia Roberts, August: Osage County
-June Squibb, Nebraska
Should Win: Nyong'o. This should be the start of brand new things for the newcomer.
Could Win: Lawrence or Squibb could still pull a surprise win trick out of the hat.
Best Director:
-Alfonso Cuaron, Gravity
-Steve McQueen, 12 Years a Slave
-Alexander Payne, Nebraska
-David O. Russell, American Hustle
-Martin Scorsese, The Wolf of Wall Street
Should Win: Cuaron, for bringing the space world of Gravity to grand and marvelous life.
Could Win: Cuaron
Now, for the other categories:

Animated Feature: Frozen
Foreign Language Film: The Great Beauty (Italy)
Cinematography: Gravity, Emmanuel Lubezki

Song: "Let it Go" from Frozen (but "Happy" from Despicable Me 2 could pull a upset win.)

Production Design: The Great Gatsby
Costume Design: American Hustle, Michael Wilkinson
Makeup and Hairstyling: Dallas Buyer Club
Sound Editing: Gravity
Sound Mixing: Gravity
Visual Effects: Gravity
Best Animated Short: Get a Horse
