We're halfway there. Well, we're halfway there as of Thursday morning.
Seth MacFarlane and Emma "already hunting for an Oscar" Stone will announce the nominations for the 85th Academy Awards at the crack of dawn. "Lincoln," "Zero Dark Thirty," "Les Miserables," "Life of Pi" and "Argo" should all be rewarded with a slew of nominations. The rest? Needless to say, there are some nervous potential nominees and consultants today. With that in mind, Kris Tapley, Guy Lodge and I have made our final (and we mean final) nominations predictions which you can compare in the gallery story below. Some intriguing observations:
- The only category that we all agreed on is original screenplay.
- Overall, Kris and I agreed five times.
- Overall, Kris and Guy agreed three times.
- Guy and I agreed only once (original screenplay).
- Kris and I believe there will be ten nominees for best picture.
- Guy believes there will be eight nominees.
- I'm somewhat biased that "Cloud Atlas" will receive more nominations than Kris or Guy.
- Guy is somewhat biased that "The Master will receive more nominations than Kris or I.
Look for complete coverage of the 2012 Oscar Nominations all day long on HitFix and In Contention.

January 9, 2013 at 6:23PM EST Reply to CommentCloud Atlas if, by far, the best edited film of the year. If the Oscars don't recognize, it would be a shame.
And Guy Lodge's predictions for Original Song are a bit weird. Doubt it's gonna pan out that way.
DylanS I agree on both counts.
January 9, 2013 at 6:24PM ESTRicardo BTW, The Intouchables for best picture? Really? XD
January 9, 2013 at 6:29PM ESTRicardo Just one more thing... XD
January 9, 2013 at 8:15PM ESTHow is Leonardo DiCaprio not winning every possible award with that movie? I haven't seen it yet and I'm not speaking about its quality but from what I've heard about the role, the Tarantino effect and DiCaprio's pedigree, I find it unbelievable that it could miss a nomination.
JLPatt He's out of his league, to put it bluntly.
January 9, 2013 at 8:19PM ESTtr @Ricardo
January 9, 2013 at 8:28PM ESTAgreed. WTF? I've seen it and he gives far and away the best performance in the film. Waltz is good, but he's not stretching. at all Jackson is entertaining but nearly an SNL sketch is some scenes.
That, coupled with Dicaprio's too-many snubs and the fact that the category's other heavy (Jones) is essentially playing himself and it astounds me that critics havn't been awarding him.
I get the feeling that the Academy still views him as a pretty boy young'un. And that, above all, has to stand as the Academy's most egregious bias year in and year out. Fassbender, Gosling, Dicaprio, Garfield...all a victim of this.
tr @JLPATT
January 9, 2013 at 8:29PM ESTGet the fuck outta here with that nonsense.
Edwin I actually wasn't blown away by DiCaprio's performance, but then again, my opinion may not count for much in this case because I've very rarely been thoroughly impressed by DiCaprio. I don't dislike him, but he's just never struck me as a truly great actor. Plus I didn't really like "Django" overall, so again, my opinion might not mean much in this case.

prettok "Beasts" gets a single nomination for best pic?
January 9, 2013 at 8:09PM ESTDylanS Yeah, I think the guild omissions are going to put it in that BP or nothing position. Some are thinking score, but it seems way too outside of the branch's comfort zone to get in. And I think it will miss with adapted screenplay.
January 10, 2013 at 3:59AM ESTDylanS Also, I'm making a last minute change. VFX: "Skyfall" in, "Prometheus" out.
January 10, 2013 at 4:01AM ESTDefRef Apparently Les Miserables, Django Unchained, Argo, and Zero Dark Thirty directed themselves as Hooper, Tarantino, Affleck & Bigelow got snubbed.
January 10, 2013 at 9:56AM ESTFYC: Mirrior/Mirrior
January 9, 2013 at 6:34PM EST Reply to CommentI don't think all three indie darlings get in for Best Actress like Guy thinks. I'm guessing Naomi Watts keeps one of them out. Maybe two if they go with Mirren or there's a left field nomination like Keira Knightley randomly getting in or something.
I also keep thinking there will be a surprise in Best Actor. On top of Joaquin, I think one other of the assumed nominees gets the "Wow! Can you believe Jackman/Cooper/Hawkes/Washington was snubbed?" and someone random gets the shocking nomination of the day. Maybe Gere or Affleck. I also have a weird gut feeling Dwight Henry somehow sneaks in to Supporting Actor though that category has so many potential nominees it'd be crazy if he actually got in.

January 9, 2013 at 6:41PM EST Reply to CommentI'll stay away from the big movie wars, but one item really stood out for me. None of you predicted "Still Alive" for best original song. I don't know that it will win given Suddenly and Skyfall, but it is a beautifully written song with great lyrics ... truly unusual for Oscar nominated songs. Amazing that we have three this year. Plus fun hum along songs from Brave and Hobbit.

January 9, 2013 at 6:54PM EST Reply to CommentGreg, I see Kris and Guy ranked their choices alphabetical. Are your choices in "most likely to win" order or just arbitrary.
pitypie Yeah, this really bothered me for some reason.
January 10, 2013 at 12:24AM ESTRichardZ
January 9, 2013 at 6:59PM EST Reply to CommentBest prediction: From Guy, Best Song, The Sambola from Damsels in Distress.
Here's my noteworthy predictions:
1. Q. Wallis for Best Actress
2. Django Unchained--will not be nominated as much as predicted.
3. Maggie Smith fr. Exotic Marigold Hotel.
Would love to happen: Both Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman gets nominated--if only because AUSTRALIA is the best, most UNDERRATED, ROBBED movie evah. Would love to see them on the stage together.
CaptainCanada I saw that too. While it's not really that notable as a piece of music, I'd be tickled if it was nominated.
January 9, 2013 at 7:13PM ESTThe dream would be if it then got a really dynamic staging at the Oscars and actually became an international dance craze like Violet wanted.
jessied44 For all the praise of DDL, Hugh Jackman delivered a phenomenal, incredibly difficult performance that ran circles around Daniel this year.
January 9, 2013 at 7:47PM ESTCaptainCanada
January 9, 2013 at 7:20PM EST Reply to CommentRegarding Best Supporting Actor, I predict that the only way there's going to be any kind of race there is if DiCaprio gets in. Any other configuration will be an easy win for Jones; frankly, that could easily happen if DiCaprio does get in. But none of the other potential nominees strike me as likely to catch fire, for a variety of reasons relating to their careers and/or films.
Edwin I know it's not all a game of statistics, but history would definitely be against that. No actor has ever won an Oscar in any category after being snubbed by SAG, BAFTA, and BFCA. It's just not going to happen, even if he does get nominated.

January 9, 2013 at 7:36PM EST Reply to CommentI was initially surprised by the amount of pundits predicting 14 nominations for Lincoln (I have it at 12) but Gary Rydstrom and Ben Burtt not being recognized for their sound work does seem unlikely.

January 9, 2013 at 7:57PM EST Reply to CommentIntouchables making the Best Picture cut would completely make my morning. Such a giddy movie-going experience.
Regardless, a look at the Best Picture guesses confirms it again--what a great year for movies.

January 9, 2013 at 7:57PM EST Reply to CommentI still think PTA will take Hooper's place in the director's slot. And if Lee doesn't make it, my money is on Haneke to take his place.

I'm predicting The Master for BP because seems the kind of film that, while hated by a lot of people, will get 5% of #1 votes.

January 9, 2013 at 8:19PM EST Reply to CommentFor Best Song, "Skyfall" will probably win, but I'd love to see "Big Machine" get a nod from "Safety Not Guaranteed". It was a great song that came out of nowhere in the movie, and helped to transform the movie's storyline from something silly to something heartfelt.

Joe Hand't even occurred to me, & I'm sure it didn't with voters, but I wholeheartedly agree.
January 9, 2013 at 10:52PM ESTmovieguy223
January 9, 2013 at 8:22PM EST Reply to CommentI guess the three of you foresee split votes for the supporting players in Django Unchained. I'd be very shocked if DiCaprio or Waltz are not nominated, but one is getting the shaft, they won't be as lucky as they were at the HFPA

January 9, 2013 at 8:25PM EST Reply to CommentKris, The Intouchables for Best Picture?
JJ1 He said he has been hearing it a lot lately from the mouths of voters.
January 9, 2013 at 8:47PM ESTHoustonRufus Kris is really good with those kind of outlier predictions. He's probably on to something. Even if he's wrong, I like a guy who takes a chance on some buzz.
January 9, 2013 at 9:07PM ESTcineJAB
January 9, 2013 at 8:49PM EST Reply to Commentdoes anyone else feel like the campaign for The Sessions has been on autopilot for a while now? I know Hawkes and Hunt are looked at as locks, but how many members are ranking them higher than 3 or 4?
HoustonRufus Yeah, I'm not sure what's happened with it. Not sure if it hasn't been getting enough traction or if the campaign has been stumbling or both. I do sense neither Hawkes or Hunt are threats for the win at this point, even if they get in. And at one point, I really felt Hawkes was in the heat of it.
January 9, 2013 at 9:09PM ESTEdwin I actually just decided to take Hawkes out of my final predictions to let Phoenix in, and it's for exactly the reasons you said: virtually no strong campaign, and he's not likely to get a lot of #1 votes. Phoenix will definitely get #1 votes, even if he's on less ballots overall than Hawkes. So I'm going to go out on a limb and say Hawkes gets snubbed tomorrow (which is unfortunate).

January 9, 2013 at 11:38PM EST Reply to CommentSome of the less obvious predictions I'm making:
-Bardem doesn't get nominated for Supporting Actor, but Dench gets in for Supporting Actress (mainly because she's in a weaker category this year, and she's Judi Dench).
-"The Dark Knight Rises" doesn't get a single nomination.
-John Hawkes gets snubbed and replaced by Joaquin Phoenix.
And some off-the-wall guesses that I'm not predicting but WOULD predict if I were feeling a bit more gutsy:
-"Django Unchained" gets no more than 4 nominations overall and doesn't get in for Best Picture.
-"Argo" gets at least 8 nominations, including a surprising double nomination for Supporting Actor (Arkin, of course, plus either Cranston or Goodman).
-And most unlikely of all, Jean-Louis Trintignant gets in for Best Actor.

Al The competition this year is extraordinary, any of these can easily fall to the wayside by films not even mentioned in this list, simply because there are so many worthy/ loved films in contention. First time I've ever made such a detailed prediction list, because this season (so far at least) has been a blast. Great competition.
