My Oscar picks went
extremely well this year. Without missing two picks in the always challenging short
categories, I only missed original screenplay and picture, which I took a risk
on, but usually go with the longest running time and do not risk a pick on a
film that does not get a screenplay nomination.
Gravity won seven total out of eleven and 12 Years a Slave won three key categories (picture, adapted
screenplay and supporting actress) while Philomena,
American Hustle, Nebraska, Wolf of Wall Street, and Captain Phillips went home empty-handed. It was also curious that I did not remember any movie previews (a.k.a. trailers) during the commercial breaks.
I’m also proud to announce
the winner in my annual contest was Raquel M in California! Congratulations!
