Hey Ho everyone! Yup once again we are at odds with each other trying to figure who is gonna win what at this year's 85th Academy Awards. I have to say that this year is probably the most open contest we've had in a long time (let's not even talk about Avatar or The Hurt Locker). We've got a healthy competition going amongst our resident MobieDicks but what do you think? Yay Or Nay? (Hope you've seen Lincoln to get this one)
Amour - Will the only foreign film in the Best picture category take it all home?
Life Of Pi - Ang Lee's masterpiece and he is also up for Best Director
Lincoln - He freed the slaves but has it done enough for its categories?
Les Miserables - Anne Hathaway dream a dream of winning an Oscar
Zero Dark Thirty - Kathryn Bigelow's hunt for Osama
Django Unchained - Christoph Waltz represents in the Best Supporting Actor category
Silver Linings Playbook - Crazy Jennifer Lawrence might just bag the Best Actress category
Beasts of the Southern Wild - Outside chance with 4 nominations
Argo - AR GO F*CK YOURSELF might top it all
So here we go....
