- DirectorDavid O. RussellStarsChristian BaleAmy AdamsBradley CooperA con man, Irving Rosenfeld, along with his seductive partner Sydney Prosser, is forced to work for a wild F.B.I. Agent, Richie DiMaso, who pushes them into a world of Jersey powerbrokers and the Mafia.I'm also seeing nominations for Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Costume, Best Film Editing, and maybe more
- DirectorAlfonso CuarónStarsSandra BullockGeorge ClooneyEd HarrisDr Ryan Stone, an engineer on her first time on a space mission, and Matt Kowalski, an astronaut on his final expedition, have to survive in space after they are hit by debris while spacewalking.A no brainer contestant for Visual Effects, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Cinematography, Film Editing, Original Screenplay, and perhaps Director and Actress
- DirectorRyan CooglerStarsMichael B. JordanMelonie DiazOctavia SpencerThe story of Oscar Grant III, a 22-year-old Bay Area resident, who crosses paths with friends, enemies, family, and strangers on the last day of 2008.I'm hoping this will get the nomination for Best Picture, and also for Director, Original Screenplay, and Actor, but I no doubt see Supporting Actress as a go.
- DirectorJohn WellsStarsMeryl StreepDermot MulroneyJulia RobertsA look at the lives of the strong-willed women of the Weston family, whose paths have diverged until a family crisis brings them back to the Oklahoma house they grew up in, and to the dysfunctional woman who raised them.Looks like this year's The Help, so I expect nominations for Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, and Margo Martindale, and perhaps Adapted Screenplay
- DirectorGeorge ClooneyStarsGeorge ClooneyMatt DamonBill MurrayAn unlikely World War II platoon is tasked to rescue art masterpieces from German thieves and return them to their owners.George Clooney...what else should I say?
- DirectorSteve McQueenStarsChiwetel EjioforMichael Kenneth WilliamsMichael FassbenderIn the antebellum United States, Solomon Northup, a free Black man from upstate New York, is abducted and sold into slavery.By the title itself, and the great casting, one can just feel the words Oscar buzzing all over it, plus the trailer shows its power. I can see a lot of nominations for this captivating film, including Fassbender's long awaited nomination.
- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsLeonardo DiCaprioJonah HillMargot RobbieBased on the true story of Jordan Belfort, from his rise to a wealthy stock-broker living the high life to his fall involving crime, corruption and the federal government.Scorsese makes some of the most brilliant achievements in cinema history, so I don't doubt that this will be another one of them. Leo looks brilliant for a nomination and I see some nominations for Director and Writing
- DirectorEthan CoenJoel CoenStarsOscar IsaacCarey MulliganJohn GoodmanA week in the life of a young singer as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961.The Coen Brothers most always get nominations, and this film looks different yet an entertainment and great film. Hopefully, John Goodman may get his deserved nomination
- DirectorAlexander PayneStarsBruce DernWill ForteJune SquibbAn aging, booze-addled father makes the trip from Montana to Nebraska with his estranged son in order to claim a million-dollar Mega Sweepstakes Marketing prize.
- DirectorJean-Marc ValléeStarsMatthew McConaugheyJennifer GarnerJared LetoIn 1985 Dallas, electrician and hustler Ron Woodroof works around the system to help AIDS patients get the medication they need after he is diagnosed with the disease.Not only does this film have the best picture controversial to it, but it has Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto in raw performances.
