Best Picture

My Winner - Argo (mainly because of the Ben Affleck snub - this way, he can still get an Oscar). If not, I also surprisingly enjoyed Les Miserables, so I'd go with that.

 Probable Winner - Lincoln (mainly because... well... America) I think Django Unchained might be ruled out due to the 'n-word' barrage, Amour will be lined up for Best Foreign Film and Beasts of the Southern Wild might be a bit too... different to win it - apart from that, I think it's wide…

EDIT: Figures, the day I put this up, they narrow the Best Makeup and Hairstyling race. Predictions updated to reflect the change.

EDIT 2: Another shortlist means another alteration. Best Foreign Language predictions have been updated to reflect the change.

Hey there, Sploich here with my (SERIOUSLY FINAL) predictions for the 84th Academy Award nominees. I decided to start going to the 15th with my predictions because posting them on the 1st every month was causing some problems. So here is my very VERY last updated nominee prediction list:



Best Supporting Actress

Bérénice Bejo for The Artist

Jessica Chastain for The Help

Janet McTeer for Albert Nobbs

Octavia Spencer for The Help

Shailene…

UPDATE!

So, the Academy has released an updated shortlist for Visual Effects, meaning I have to change my nominees. I have done so and the new finalized predictions can be seen at http://www.sploich.com/oscars/predictions.php. For my blogged version of the list, please go to…

Hey there, Sploich here, and Happy New Year! Over at my site, http://www.sploich.com/, I've been predicting the Oscars since about mid-2011 and today marks my last update before the actual nominees are announced. This is a hard year to predict as the nominees, no matter what they are, are going to be rather underwhelming. Regardless, here is what I have come up with and am stuck with from here on out (until February when I predict the…

Best Documentary Feature

What Should Win: Exit Through the Gift Shop

What Will Win: Inside Job

I haven't seen either of these movies, but I intend to watch Exit Through the Gift Shop very soon, so this prediction is based mainly on the buzz surrounding the nominees. The audience favorite is Exit Through the Gift Shop, but something tells me that the Academy's gonna vote for the more politically controversial…

Before I begin, allow me to begin by saying this is my first blog on Spill.com so please go easy on me. Thanks!

As we all know, it's that time of year once again, Oscar time! Just like last year and the year before that, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is going to disappoint me. Why are they going to disappoint me? Good question. Simply put it as, everytime we find out who had won Best Picture over the last couple years, it's always the one i didn't want to…

Last Year, I had a dream. To see 52 new films in theatres. I have surpassed that goal. Granted, I haven't had to pay for most of them, because I went to movie screenings and premiers throughout the year.

I have ranked all of the films I have seen this year. Here you go:
