I'm somewhat tempted to post my predictions here just for discussion, but that might be counterproductive to my goal of winning the competition.

This awards show is definitely going to be one of the more surprising one in a while. I can't wait. The best director category is still up in the air. I strongly believe Spielberg just ain't gonna cut it. There is a lot of love for Argo and still Life of Pi; so without Affleck, then we can count in Ang Lee.
Would've been nice to see Affleck win this award though; the man is definitely an accomplished director now. One day, I hope.

The biggest question for me is not who wins the various awards but whether Sean Connery shows up for the Bond tribute. I believe all the others are confirmed but, although there's a rumor that Connery has agreed, nothing official has come across the pipeline. I guess they're trying to maintain the suspense, but it will be a huge letdown if he doesn't show up.

Looking over the "Beat Berardinelli" thread, I conclude it's going to be a bit embarrassing if "Silver Linings Playbook" wins Best Picture.

I reckon a "lock" for an Oscar this year is Pretoria State Prison.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's been confirmed all the Bond actors will NOT bet getting together for the Oscars.
