2013 Oscar Nominations Predictions

     The upcoming 2013 Academy Awards Nominations will be announced on January 10, 2013. There are a few films I have not seen, waiting for them to open in theatres here in Austin, but I'm going to do my best to prognosticate the upcoming nominations. The Oscars are the big awards ceremony and even though there are always politics involved, campaigning, studio parties and likability, or lack there of with certain entertainers, its always interesting to see who gets in and who is left out. The Best Picture nominees can range from five to ten nominees depending on how many first place votes a film gets and it must at least receive 5% of the first place votes. The Academy Awards will be hosted by "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane, how many references and skits will be from those characters, and the ceremony will air on ABC, Sunday, February 24. Here are my predictions of the main categories after the jump.

  2. I really hope it is Christoph Waltz instead of Leonardo DiCaprio. He is great, but Waltz steals the film.

  3. My whole life has bounced back after the work of Esango priest who restored my marriage. my lover and i have been apart for over 9 months, i have contacted so many spell casters to help me, but all of them failed me and went away with my money. A friend introduced me to this powerful man called Esango priest. my friend told me how he helped him and many other people to get their lover back. I actually contacted him, behold he actually did the spell and my lover came back to apologize to me today we are happy again and living together as we used to be. I urge every one on this site searching for a real spell caster to go straight to Esango priest. he is a powerful man he will surely help you. His contact is esangopriest@hotmail.com
