Finally! I wait every year, not patiently, for the Academy Awards, and this is The Big Night.

Do you love movies as much as I do? I have only seen a couple of the movies nominated, but it's fun to watch the celebs on the red carpet (their hairdos and even more, the hair-don'ts), the jewelry and pero Dios mio, the dresses!) who can resist the glamour, the decadence, and so much Shiny Stuff only once a year? Not me.

My aunt and I like to watch together. Our big activity in the winter months to see all the movies before the awards, but not this year. Yes, since you asked, we do make a big production of it, and wear our best dresses to eat appetizers and get blasted drinking a pitcher of Oscar's Big Night (recipe below). This year, we can't be together. My husband's taste in movies trends toward car chases or paranormal activities . . so I'm hoping there are some Meese who like movies?

Avila :: Academy Awards - Your Oscar Predictions [Updated with Results]

Seth McFarlane (best known for an animated series on dysfunctional families (Family Guy is allegedly a postmodern Simpsons with some South Park flavor in the mix) is the host of this year's awards. I'm not a fan but he was pret-ty hilarious on Jimmy Fallon's show, in a Puppy Predictions skit. (Okay, you got me. Jimmy as a host would have been amazing.) Without further adieu, here are our nominees.

Best Picture

Amour

Argo: WINNER!

Beasts of the Southern Wild

Django Unchained

Les Misérables

Life of Pi

Lincoln

Silver Linings Playbook

Zero Dark Thirty

Who will win?

Lincoln is the odds-on favorite, but I think Argo could be The Little Movie That Can.

Who will win?
I've only seen three (Argo, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Silver Linings Playbook. I don't have a particular favorite in this category . . . and since it's always the last award at the finale of 3+ hours of TV, I'll be tipsy if I'm awake.

Best Actor in a Leading Role

Bradley Cooper (Silver Linings Playbook)

Daniel Day-Lewis: WINNER! (Lincoln)

Hugh Jackman (Les Misérables )

Joaquin Phoenix (The Master)

Denzel Washington (Flight)

Who will win?
Daniel Day-Lewis.

Who should win?
Can I just say Denzel Washington was pitch-frickin' perfect in Flight? What could have been a so-so couple of hours was an amazing roller coaster ride as Denzil crash-lands a commercial 737, becomes an instant hero, is stalked by the media, and cannot escape his inner demons and self-loathing, no matter how he tries.

Best Actress in a Leading Role

Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty)

Jennifer Lawrence: WINNER! (Silver Linings Playbook)

Emmanuelle Riva (Amour)

Quvenzhané Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild)

Naomi Watts (The Impossible)

Who will win?
This one's a toss-up between Naomi Watts and Jennifer Lawrence.

Who should win?
If I admitted being a betting woman, my money's on Jennifer Lawrence.

Quvenzhané Wallis is the most adorable, irrepressible six-year-old sprite of all time, and I really liked Beasts the first time I watched it.

Later on, it occurred to me that this is a film with some rather obvious stereotypes about poor black folks in Louisiana. An old theme in the history of literature, the tragic mulatto in this movie is a young child.

Actually, she's Hushpuppy to me, and yeah, she is The Man). Very bright future, if Hollywood can resist exploiting this precious, talented little sweetheart's age and color.

Best Actor in a Supporting Role

Alan Arkin (Argo)

Robert De Niro (Silver Linings Playbook)

Philip Seymour Hoffman (The Master)

Tommy Lee Jones (Lincoln)

Christoph Waltz: WINNER! 2 shots (Django Unchained

Who will win?
Alan Arkin.

Who should win?
Alan Arkin. The Ben Affleck snub still stings.

Best Actress in a Supporting Role

Amy Adams (The Master)

Sally Field (Lincoln)

Anne Hathaway: WINNER (Les Misérables)

Helen Hunt (The Sessions)

Jacki Weaver (Silver Linings Playbook)

Who will win?
I haven't seen any of these.

Who should win?
What do you think?

WHEN: 7 p.m. Eastern time.
WHERE: ABC

Poll

Best Picture

Amour
Argo
Beasts of the Southern Wild

no award for Q. Tarantino (2.00 / 7)

Am I the only Moose who hasn't seen any of the movies? (2.00 / 6)

Wanted to go see Lincoln and Life of Pi but never did.

Since I don't have cable I'll probably toss in one of the LOTR trilogy and/or take a nap and/or go to the grocery store (I need to go to the grocery store).

i've only seen a couple, and some of these "best pitchers," i wouldn't want to see. the best movies i saw are too low-brow to be considered. it's just kind of fun to people-watch the Rich and Shameless when they get together once a year. ;)

Well, am not that interested in watching the Oscars but that (2.00 / 5)

could be because I don't do tee vee. Love the movies, though, and am very curious who will win. . This year I didn't see many of the favorites. Really like No for best foreign film and like Beasts for best American. Thought Beasts was imaginative and beautifully filmed. Also liked the idea of the multi racial outsider group. Did get bored a bit in Lincoln. I looked at my watch a few times. Found Zero riveting but not sure that it was the best of the best. It was fun and I am a sucker for anything that begins with 9/11, and event that so marked my(and everyone else's) world view. As for Amour, love Riva but heard the movie was really depressing so I gave it a miss.

Portland, you're way ahead of me (2.00 / 5)

i loved Beasts until i read a piece at Angry Black Woman (i think) that challenged that. it was beautifully filmed, and probably the closest thing to "magic" i've ever seen on film.

Zero, i'll watch on DVD. Jessica Chastain is always good, and the subject is one i think we all have immense interest in.

Argo has been nitpicked by everyone from former President Jimmy Carter to Maureen Dowd and on to the movie-going public, but i think Ben Affleck is very talented, maybe even brilliant, and this was innovative and suspenseful and sometimes hilarious.

you know how you feel when you've made plans to do something special, and things just go wrong? i mean, this is like those blasted LobsterGrams (one of Oprah's Favorite Things), and our Christmas dinner year before last. i don't even eat lobster, but my family loves it so i saved my couch change and wanted them to have a really nice dinner.

well, i have to say, that was a kitchen catastrophe. no directions. no picture. nada. i didn't mean to incinerate the doggone things. really, i didn't. but it was slim pickins on Christmas that year, and i'll never live it down.

MacFarlane also mocked George Clooney's propensity for younger women, describing 9-year-old Oscar-nominee Quvenzhane Wallis thusly: "To give you an idea of how young she is, it'll be 16 years until she's too old for Clooney."

I enjoyed your liveblogging off and on... (2.00 / 2)

...before and after watching Poirot (which was a rerun, but a good one). I'm sure I got as much enjoyment as I would have from watching the Oscars™, but I have a question. Was Mr. MacFarlane really that bad? I'd have expected him to be somewhat funny, if not hilarious.

Anyway, I've learned from this diary all else that I need to know about this year's show! ;-)

well silky, count me as someone who hasn't seen (2.00 / 2)

any of the movies either, since i have such a nice setup at home i don't go to the movies anymore. popcorn is better and cheaper at homemade.

i generally like the Oscars especially when Billy Crystal was hosting but Mcfarlane, in a word, B R U T A L. they lost me in that opening sequence and i drifted to HBO , luckily there were a few episodes of Girls on that i hadn't seen.

Mcfarlane is a lightweight and he trivialized the event, at least for this viewer. he'd be more at home hosting America's Funniest Videos.

thanks for posting this diary Avila.

Ya know, (2.00 / 2)

...after further thought this morning, I'm not as surprised as I was that people are dissing Mr. MacFarlane, because as much as I've enjoyed Family Guy over the years, there IS frequently something flat and juvenile about the show's humor, and often the jokes are dragged out far too long. I don't know if Mr. MacF was like that last night, but...

And yes, Billy Crystal was a great host back in the day.
