*My predictions.
DISCLAIMER: I’ve not seen Life of Pi yet. It just seems like Ang Lee will win. It should also be noted that no film has ever won Best Picture Oscar if the director isn’t nominated. So odds are against Argo, and probably in favor Pi. But I’m pulling for a change. Besides, how can the Academy not love a movie about Hollywood saving the world?
