I wonder what the predictions will be this year. There haven't been any astounding Best Picture-worthy movies yet this year, so I'm very curious.
I see August Osage County in the top ten
I think August Osage County is in at least the Top 5.
It seems trivial to contest your picks this early but The Great Gatsby looks too far out, that one has a definite shot. The Academy have recognised Luhrmann's work before and big 3D spectacles have featured a lot in recent years. I think that's one that could score nominations across all technical categories and Best Picture.
I actually think DiCaprio could be a contender for Best Actor with that film. Either that or Worlf of Wall Street. I also think Carey Mulligan will be a contender for Best Supporting Actress
I'd add Her, the new Spike Jonze film starring Joaquin Phoenix (potential best actor nom), Amy Adams (Best supporting or best actress nom), and Rooney Mara (potential best supporting actress nom).
hey where Frances Ha?? Greta Gerwig maybe will get best actress nom this year!
I think a title you might want to put into consideration is "Short Term 12". It won both the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award for Narrative Feature at SXSW. It features some excellent performances and a great script. I am not sure what kind of distribution it will be getting, but I think it will be one to watch out for.
My picks as of now
The Monuments Men
Rush
12 Years A Slave
Abscam*
Foxcatcher
The Counceler
Serena
The Wolf of Wall Street
August: Ausage Country
