When I saw the title in your link I only had one thought: Crash.
I'm glad I'm not alone.
DDL for best Actor.
Argo for best picture.
That's all I can predict.

Really surprised that Argo is getting so much Best Picture buzz. Not that I didn't think it was great, but when I see an Abraham Lincoln biopic directed by Steven Spielberg starring Daniel Day Lewis, I call it a day.

I just think Argo was far and away a better film.

The only Oscar film I've seen is Lincoln, which I thought was good but not great.

However, DDL was definitely great, as always.

Haven't seen any of the nominees for an Oscar. Most films nominated for an Oscar go off my watch list. If I have seen one it is before it gets nominated. Makes for a better picture that way. Besides...I see these awards shows as nothing but the industry (film, music, whatever) giving themselves a pat on the back and telling themselves how good they are.

Wow Nate Silver is going all-in for Argo. fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/02/22/oscar-predictions-election-style/ I've seen Argo, Lincoln, and Beasts of the Southern Wild (my favorite of those and possibly my favorite of the year - although 'The Master' stuck with me in a way a movie hasn't in a long while). Glad to see Beasts get a bit of recognition. If last year (was it last year?) represented the worst about going to 10 Best Picture nominations, this year represents the best.

"No one cares. That's the irreversible flaw of the Oscars. You're wasting three-plus hours to get to a grand total of roughly four minutes of meaningful action. Even football doesn't have that poor of a ratio. The Oscars are pointless and stupid."
Good summary...four minutes might be a slight reach....

I've seen 'Argo,' 'Zero Dark Thirty,' and Beasts of the 'Southern Wild' recently. Along with Lincoln, they were all good, but I'm not sure any of them are going to really stick with me.
Still looking forward to eventually seeing Django and Amour.
