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

 Re: General Oscar Chatter
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.

 Re: General Oscar Chatter
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.

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

 Re: General Oscar Chatter
I reckon a "lock" for an Oscar this year is Pretoria State Prison.

 Re: General Oscar Chatter
Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's been confirmed all the Bond actors will NOT bet getting together for the Oscars. http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/19/ ... the-oscars
