It's that time of year again, time for me to post my predictions for the Oscars, which will air on ABC this Sunday night. I'm glad to see that the 86th Academy Awards Ceremony will be hosted by Ellen DeGeneres because she was very funny when she first helmed the show back in 2007.
I thought that last year's Oscar winners were one of the hardest rosters to predict in history, but I actually scored 18 out of 24 right. I seriously doubt I'll get as good or better this go around, but I'm still gonna give it the ole college try.
Oh yeah, I'll be live-tweeting the Oscars too: follow @filmbabble.

1. BEST PICTURE: 12 YEARS A SLAVE
I thought this was a shoo-in when I saw it last fall, but then AMERICAN HUSTLE started gaining major momentum as an awards season favorite. GRAVITY has a lot of pull too, but I'm sticking with Steve McQueen's powerful historical drama. It just seems to have Best Picture written all over it.
2. BEST DIRECTOR: Alfonso Cuarón for GRAVITY
3. BEST ACTOR: Matthew McConaughey for DALLAS BUYER'S CLUB
4. BEST ACTRESS: Cate Blanchett for BLUE JASMINE
5. BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: Jared Leto for DALLAS BUYER'S CLUB
I almost want to pick a wild card - say, Jonah Hill for THE WOLF OF WALL STREET - because there's often a surprise in one of the Supporting categories, but I'm still going with Leto.
6. BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Lupita Nyong’o for 12 YEARS A SLAVE (Wild card: June Squibb for NEBRASKA)
And the rest:
7. PRODUCTION DESIGN: THE GREAT GATSBY
6. BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Lupita Nyong’o for 12 YEARS A SLAVE (Wild card: June Squibb for NEBRASKA)

9. COSTUME DESIGN: AMERICAN HUSTLE
10. DOCUMENTARY FEATURE: THE ACT OF KILLING

13. MAKEUP: DALLAS BUYER'S CLUB
14. VISUAL EFFECTS: GRAVITY
15. ORIGINAL SCORE: GRAVITY
16. ORIGINAL SONG: “Let it Go” from FROZEN
17. ANIMATED SHORT: MR. HUBLOT
