Last year Ben Affleck's "Argo," was the big film coming out of the Oscars. I didn't see the film, but I remember the film for that very reason. Each year the Oscar's introduces many people and films that are obscure outside of the members of the Academy.
The Oscar's should pull a sizeable viewing audience based on its diverse inventory.
This year Spielberg's "Lincoln" has the most nominations. "Beast of the Southern Wild" 9-year-old actress Quvenzhane Willis, the youngest person ever nominated for an Oscar is getting a fair share of attention. Each of the nominees on the Best Supporting Actor category have all won Oscars in the past. The talent and product that came out of the film industry in 2013 truly makes so many of the categories hard to call. (Albeit, Jamie Fox and the other African Amereican actors in Terrentino's "Django" should not have been snubbed). Below I have highlighted who I think should win in yellow and the likely winner in pale blue.
