What will win the Most Oscars (2013 Oscars)

[Impact]

So what are you predicting? Not sure right now for me.

Gravity. Even if it doesn't win Best Picture/Director (and I definitely think it's winning the latter) I think it'll still get

Gravity. It probably won't win Best Picture, but Editing, VFX, Cinematography, Sound Mixing, Sound Editing are pretty much its to lose. Best Director may also be a possibility. Best Score is also a strong possibility. 

 

American Hustle will definitely lose 3 of its acting noms, and may lose all 4. David O'Russell vs. Alfonso Cuaron is a straight fight. And the other categories like costumes and production design which it is nominated for seem to be categories where Great Gatsby will likely score.

Only 2 films that have gotten all 4 acting noms failed to win-My Man Godfrey and Sunset Blv.

(Godfrey is also the only film to be nominated in all 4 acting cats with no BP nom-and there were even 10 noms that year!)

 

Which of these will walk home empty handed?

Wolf and Her possibly, same with Captain. Dallas possibly just s. actor.

[riczhang]

Defs Wolf I think will be empty handed. Would've won editing hands down if it got nominated. Remember in the techs, the academy likes films with BP+Above the line nods and believes that best is synonymous with Most.

Agreed. Would be nice if they just go for an all out sweep and give it Director and BP too.

[Impact]

Now will Harvey sneak his way to get a win? Probably.

[Impact]

I'm thinking Gravity right now BTW.

[Impact]

Nebraska could go home empty handed also.

[stripe]

ATM, I expect Gravity to win BP and BD, and taking 7 Oscars. Picture, Director, Score, Editing, both sounds, and fx.

12YAS will have two Oscars: sup actor and screenplay

AH will have two Oscars: supp actress and screenplay

DBC will have two Oscars: actor and makeup

Frozen will have two Oscars: song and animated feature

 

I'm still thinking what will win in Cinematography, Art Direction and Costumes.

[CoolioD1]

Gravity will win cinematography. That's pretty much locked as far as I'm concerned.

[The Stingray]

This is what I got atm.

 

Best Picture: 12 Years a Slave or American Hustle

Best Director: Alfonso Cuarón or Steve McQueen

Gravity: 6-7

12 Years a Slave: 4-7

[Jack Nevada]

Gravity -- 6 awards (Best director, best sound mixing, best sound editing, best cinematography, best visual effects, best original score)

American Hustle -- 5 awards (Best picture, best original screenplay, best actress, best editing, best costumes)

12 Years a Slave -- 3 awards (Best actor, best supporting actress, best adapted screenplay)

[riczhang]

I wonder if Hustle can go home empty handed. I'm assuming it isn't winning picture and it has no real shot in any acting category but Supporting, but if AH isn't winning picture then Nyong'o has a very good shot at winning (and more so than Jlaw, I think....) 

 

So Director, I think Cuaron. And Now that Her is picking up steam, I don't see AH winning screenplay. So uhm. costumes will probably go Gatsby. I don't see Hustle winning editing. I don't see where else it would win. 

 

I think the most wins of the night goes to Gravity, with 12 Years either 1 behind or tied with it.

I liked a lot Lubezki's work, but this year is so strong in this category. I hardly see this locked. What if the voters think it's time to reward Deakins? His work in Prisoners is outstanding.

Gravity is 3D.

[Impact]

Bumps. 3 way race for BP it seems.

BTW-doubt Prisoners will win, that is its only cat.

[stripe]

I'm begining to seriously think Deakins will win Cinematography. It's all between him and Lubezki right now.

 

Score, FX and both sounds are kind of locked for Gravity. If the voters feel like six/seven Oscars is more than enough for Gravity, they're going to support other options in Cinematography or in Editing.  And for me, Gravity is more an Editing achievement than a Cinematography's one. Also, Editing usually goes to the BP winner. That opens the Cinematography race

[Jake Gittes]

The Academy has made some ridiculous decisions in the past, but there are cases where you just have such an obviously, inescapably towering achievement on your hands that, even for the Oscars, it would be inconceivable under any circumstances to not reward it. Think The Godfather winning BP and Actor, Chinatown and Pulp Fiction winning Best Original Screenplay, Days of Heaven and Apocalypse Now winning Cinematography, The Matrix and Avatar winning VFX, John Williams winning for Jaws and Star Wars, DDL winning for Daniel Plainview. I feel like Lubezki, with what he did in Gravity, belongs in that group. Not that I wasn't shocked when he lost for The Tree of Life - I was convinced he'd win there, too - but this is a different level even from that one. And if he somehow loses, well, it'll be a whole new level of fucked-up, mind-boggling and inexplicable.
