With two days to go until the Oscars, here are my picks - Best Picture - Argo Best Actor - Daniel Day-Lewis Best Actress - Jessica Chastain Best Supporting Actor - Tommy Lee Jones Best Supporting Actress - Anne Hathaway Best Director - Steven Spielberg Best Original Screenplay - Django Unchained/Quentin Tarantino Best Adapted Screenplay - Argo/Chris Terrio That said, I think that Life of Pi will win the most awards, based on its gorgeous cinematography and technical merit. What are your picks?

I think Olga Fokycelf wins Best everything. I have no idea and don't much care.

Is it true that Terry Collins was nominated for best animated short?

Ang Lee steals one from that Spielberg fellow.

Total bullshit Obama announcing that..

It's through cinema, Obama said, that "our children learn to open their imagination and dream just a little bigger and to strive every day to reach those dreams." Especially Ted.

This has to be the first time that the top six awards (Best Picture, Best Director and the four acting categories) all went to different films, right? On Edit - Wrong. It happened as recently as 2006, and before that it happened in 1957 and 1953.

Vic Sage Feb 25 2013 08:25 AM Re: Oscars 2013

i got 9 out of top 10 categories, missing only supporting actor. I thought it would be Bobby D, not another one for the deserving Waltz. ARGO Ang Lee DDLewis J.Lawrence A.Hathaway x- R.Deniro (Waltz) screenplays - Django / Argo Score - Pi Song - Skyfall Also got Foreign (Amour), Animation (Brave) and Doc (Sugarman). I would've won in a weighted pool, but in a straight up pool i missed most of the craft / shorts categories, so lost out.

I enjoyed MacFarlane. Helped entertain me for what's otherwise usually a pretty boring 4 hours. (The wife had it on, otherwise I wouldn't have watched)

I'm old. Who the hell are any of these people. And why the hell wasn't Robert Redford or Gene Hackman presenting an award?

sharpie Feb 25 2013 11:58 AM Re: Oscars 2013

I got 17 of 21 in my office pool, missing winning by one (damn you, Ang Lee).
