Seriously. He knows just what categories to play it safe and when to take a risk. I screw up so much.

I'm thinking Best Actress is this year's biggest wildcard. I think there is a legitimately good chance Chastain and Lawrence cancel each other out, and Riva sneaks in there. It's already clear the Academy loves the film, what with the five nominations.

was second last year by a point, this is the year...

Am I the only person that thinks the Academy is going to pull a wild card and have David O Russel win Best Director? I just feel like its coming.

Don't think it's that big of a wildcard. Do think he's going to win, though I don't think any of them winning would surprise me all that much. Pulling for Haneke, though.

Just submitted my picks. I think I might have a chance with the bigger categories, but I was kinda picking blindly in some of the smaller ones (animated short, editing, sound, cinematography, etc.)

I sent in my ballot.

Just watched Amour, doubting my choice for best actress now, dang it.
