2nd March, this Sunday.
Just in case, here is the list of nominees:

Speculate away anything and everything about the Oscars.
(I have also added a poll: which film would YOU like to win the Best Picture?)
The Oscars are upon us!

I've seen American Hustle, Gravity, and Wolf of Wall Street. While Gravity absolutely MUST get best director (and it surely will), none of these struck me as good enough to deserve the top honor. It feels like it's been a weak year in film.

*taptap*
No one in the room?
Anyway, I think after 7-8 years or so I finally agree with most of the decisions by the Academy.
Of course, Gravity deserved VFX and the sound categories. But I am also glad to see it win best editing and score as well. Both of which were masterfully done.
And yes, happy for Cuaron too. ( I had never seen him before)
Not a surprise, but I am glad to see 12 years winning the best Picture. Deservedly so. ( a part of me was wishing that Steve McQueen win the best director as well) I am also delighted for the young actress from 12 years winning the supporting actress award.
The only major shock, I think, was Hustle not winning a single award. None for the acting.
And especially for the screenplay. That was a big shocker.

Finally good to see a more family-friendly Oscar show after the atrocities of last year. Thanks to the host, who I thought did very good.

There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.
