Great thing about the oscars is you can tune in about 10:45 EST and see all the big awards in about 20 minutes.

I wish Chastain would win but many insiders are predicting a victory for Riva and the oldies

For the acting awards, you can generally predict them off of who won the corresponding SAG award, since the bulk of the Oscar voting populace for the acting awards are SAG members, who just got done voting on and handing out their awards. It's not 100% fullproof but it's pretty consistent.

J-law might get derailed because some lame people are sick of her and thought she was bitchy on SNL or whatever.

If by "sweeped", you mean sweeped under the rug unacknowledged, then yes, it sweeped.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #19 on:** February 24, 2013, 08:09:11 PM »

This the first time since the mid 90's where I haven't seen all of the best picture nominations. Only saw Argo, Beasts of the Southern Wild and Django.

That's what having a kid does for ya. You get picky about what you do on date nights and then wait for everything else to hit the home video market.

I've liked it a lot so far. It's meta, sure, but it's not that offensive and it's actually pretty humorous. Unlike Crystal's painfully innocuous hosting last year.
