My Gut Predictions for the 2013 Academy Award Nominations

Okay, so now it's time to examine the year in film (at least, as far as the Academy Awards are concerned).  I see it as a three-pronged approach....

The first is the usual...these are the ones that are going to make it in to the top, if we were still dealing with an initial five:

ARGO

LES MISERABLES

LINCOLN

SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK

 ZERO DARK THIRTY

Then we have the strong upcomers:

AMOUR

BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD  

THE MASTER

MOONRISE KINGDOM

LIFE OF PI

Then we have the final slight hopefuls...

ANNA KARININA

THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL 

DJANGO UNCHAINED 

THE PROMISED LAND

THE SESSIONS

In the end, it'll be:
