"12 Years is Heart Breaking" While "Gravity Is Ground Breaking..." - Entertainment Weekly Breaks Down ALL Their Winning Oscar Predictions...and I Compare Them With My Own ;)
Is it March 2nd yet?!! I am so ready for this year's Academy Awards because there are some kick ass movies this year, like its gonna be rough. Last year we had some clear cut winnaas likee Best Picture? Argo. Best Actor? OBV Daniel Day Lewis. Jokes. But this year, with one of the tightest Best Picture races in years...its gonna be hard to choose just one great film to reign over all of them; BUT if ya pick up the current issue of EW Mag (click here to go to EW.com) with gorgeous stunnas Cate Blanchett and Lupita Nyong'o gracing the cover, you can get Entertainment's top winning picks for this year. Here is just a brief break down of Entertainment's "The Winners Will Be..." article....OH and then, compared with my winning picks too, of course. #fakefilmcritic #wheresmyoscar?
Best Picture
Liiiit there are SO many best picture nods this year and like, it's so hard to pick one. As a self-proclaimed film critic I obv took upon myself, as I do every year to see as many of the films as I could...I've seen them all except for Philomena and Nebraska, which I know are also amazing, and lemme say its tough. These movies killed it this year. While its a hard decision...EW's pick to win: Gravity, but by a noise. Do I agree? Me: Yes, Kinda. They're second choice is obv 12 Years...and I'm going with that. But it'll be either of these two.
Best Actor
I mean, again rough. They should all win. We wish it was as simple as just being like Daniel Day Lewis by a long shot, but this is tough. Although the talk of the town to win is of course, Mathew, especially after winning both the Golden Globe and the SAG.
EW: Mathew McConaughey
Me: I second that Mathew motion. EW has Leo falling short behind...freaking sucks for Leo. He always does Oscar nod roles liiiiterally at the worst time. He's gotta win one day...
Best Actress
Well, this category kinda has the Daniel Day Lewis groove, but with Cate. I mean Cate all the way. Side note: I'm still NOT over Emma Thompson not being nominated for Saving Mr. Banks. She should have 100% replaced Amy Adams. Sorry. #miz
EW: Cate Blanchett
Me: Cate, obv.
Best Supporting Actor
Tough city. All of these guys did an unreal job and def made their characters a huge asset to their films. EW says Michael Fassbender for 2nd and has Barkhad Abdi and Jonah Hill tied for 3rd, but da winner is...by a Daniel Day Lewis long shot...
EW: Jared Leto.
Me: Jared freaking Leto. Unreal. Unreal. Unreal. Like, bye everyone else...but seriously.
Best Supporting Actress
Well the talk of the town for this one is that the decision is split between Jennifer Lawrence and Luptia Nyong'o. Sucks cause they were BOTH AHHmazzing. And they're both awesome. The thing is, it's rare to win the double Oscar back to back. In fact the last time it was done was Tom Hanks and '94 and '95 for Philadelphia then Forrest Gump. (He's unreal). Soooo because of that fact...the winnna is...
EW: Lupita
Me: HOPING its Lupita. I mean and let's be real, we're ALL like waiting to see what this girl pulls out on the red carpet because she's been red carpet killing it.
Best Director
Me: Ditto.
Original Screenplay
Ew: HerMe: I agree. That was one crazy screenplay, but an incredibily creative concept.
Adapted Screenplay
EW: 12 Years
Me: Yup, sure.
Costume Design
EW: American HustleMe: HA, for once I do disagree. I say Great Gatsby, but they are saying Gatsby for Production Design, which true I agree, but for me, Gatsby's costumes rocked my world. Like they were the best part of the movie...sorry Leo.
Hair and Makeup
EW: Dallas Buyers ClubMe: Here is where I also disagree and say American Hustle. I think yes Dallas Buyer's, but only on for Mathew and Jared...
Best Score
EW: Gravity
Me: I don't eveeen remember the Gravity score. Like maybe if I heard it again, but isn't me not remembering it a bad thing?? and I LOVE movie scores I'm normally all about that so, like idk. I'm still team Saving Mr. Banks. Hands down.
