But in fairness many of the results were predictable, so I'm not that clever. Cuaron was a deserving winner for director, Gravity is a remarkable achievement.<br /><br />I prefer Happy by Pharrell and The Moon Song. Frozen did very well with 2 wins out of 2!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-77942195359155213532014-03-03T14:28:49.394-08:002014-03-03T14:28:49.394-08:00Hey Chris, you got a lot of your predictions right...Hey Chris, you got a lot of your predictions right man.

If we knew every result beforehand, it would be borrrrrrring :) Best Picture is interesting, Gravity could take it, because it has the momentum of all those likely technical awards. Has a film set in space ever won? If not, it's about time. Ha, yeah, 12 Years is not for everyone, and maybe you are right, that Gravity is the definitive film of 2013, and has a wider appeal.

We still don't know for sure who will win Best Picture, there is still a race. Also, supporting actress, the music categories and the technical ones are not all that set in stone. <br />I personally think Gravity should win Best Picture. It's not my favorite of the year, but it's the definitive film of 2013. It should win. It brought people back to theaters. It's a technical marvel. Got great performances. Please don't give to the powerful but depressing film that no one will want to see after the awards season is over. This is my opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-88641129851346586642014-03-01T07:13:15.322-08:002014-03-01T07:13:15.322-08:00@Dan.

Personally I prefer Wolf and Gravity for best Pic. But you can't underestimate the important historical topic in 12Y, which might persuade voters. McQueen's work (Hunger, Shame) has previously been overlooked, so that might help 12Y gain oscar love. The controversial slavery torture could favor Gravity, though. <br />If you ask me, Best Picture, Foreign Language Film, documentary and Supporting Actress are wide open.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-25275032289014549852014-03-01T06:57:20.817-08:002014-03-01T06:57:20.817-08:00A lot of love for Gravity - totally agree.
