2013 Academy Award Nominations Predictions

So, the Academy Award nominations are coming out tomorrow. I have to say, My fiancee Stephanie and I have seen quite a bit of movies, particularly within the last few months. I think we might have a problem.

Now, I made predictions on whom I thought was going to win the awards last year. This time, I thought that I would make my predictions on who will get nominated.

Now, I do not think I have the right knowledge to predict all of the boring categories, like sound and visual shit, and I obviously will not be predicting the foreign films because I have not seen any this year, obviously. So, I will only be predicting a small chunk of the categories. You will also notice that the nominations that I think will win the award are highlighted in bold and have been starred (and they are in red too).

  1. Love Bill Murray and all, but don't awards usually go to movies that were any good?

    1. Well, not necessarily. Sometimes if the movie sucks, but the acting in it is great, then the actor will get a nod. A perfect example is Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams in THE MASTER. I thought, along with a lot of other people, that the movie was terrible. But, I thought the acting, especially from those two actors, was phenomenal. With Bill Murray, I did hear that the movie was awful, but from the previews that I have seen, Bill Murray should get nominated. I don't think he is going to win. I think DDL has that in the bag this year. haha
