Ellen is a most promising host, Bette Midler will perform, The Wizard of Oz will be toasted, and the race for the Awards is an interesting and tight one. I have high expectations.
Tonight will mark Meryl Streep's eighteenth nomination for Best Actress (for August: Osage County), breaking the record for any actor or actress previously held by... Meryl Streep! Streep is considered a long-shot this year, however.
Judi Dench is ahead in my readers' blog poll today (look to the left). She is my personal fave, too. Let's see how she fares tonight for Philomena.
Here's the current odds-on predictions for major categories vs. my predictions:
Best Picture: 12 Years a Slave. I slavishly agree.
Best Director: Alfonso Cuaron, Gravity. Check.
Actor: Matthew McConaughey, Dallas Buyers Club. I'm betting: Bruce Dern, Nebraska.
Actress: Cate Blanchette, Blue Jasmine. I'm betting: Judi Dench, Philomena.
Best Supporting Actor: Jared Leto, Dallas Buyers Club. I'll go with that.
Best Supporting Actress: Lupita Nyong'o, 12 Years a Slave. I'm betting: Jennifer Lawrence, American Hustle.
Best Original Screenplay: Spike Jonze, Her. I'm betting: Woody Allen, Blue Jasmine.
Best Adapted Screenplay: John Ridley, 12 Years a Slave. I'm betting: Bob Nelson, Nebraska.
Best Cinematography: Gravity. I'm betting: Nebraska.
Best Documentary Feature: The Act of Killing. I'm betting: 20 Feet from Stardom.
Best Editing: Gravity. I'll go with Philomena.
In any event, a very strong list of contenders. We'll see how things turn out when I see you at the Oscars! Review to come after the ceremony.
