Silver Linings Playbook
Bradley Cooper – Silver Linings Playbook
Jennifer Lawrence – Silver Linings Playbook
Robert De Niro – Silver Linings Playbook
Anne Hathaway – Les Misérables
David O. Russell – Silver Linings Playbook

I love SLP and think it's pretty great in all categories although in some (supporting actor/director), it's the only one I've seen so kind of default. Anne Hathaway was fantastic in Les Mis, as was Hugh Jackman, he'd be my runner-up.

We're getting to the territories in which I've only seen a couple of the films nominated now haha. But for me...

Picture: Les Misérables
Actor: Bradley Cooper [Silver Linings Playbook]
Actress: Jennifer Lawrence [Silver Linings Playbook]
Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz [Django Unchained]
Supporting Actress: Anne Hathaway [Les Misérables]
Director: Ang Lee [Life Of Pi]

'Silver Linings Playbook' is an all time fave along with 'Les Misérables', so that'd be runner up for me, with 'Argo' 3rd & 'Django' probably 4th (those two could easily switch)! Quite a strong year, ultimately though!

I hated Silver Linings and Les Mis was too much for me too (although I've recognised the acting with votes for Hugh & Anne), but Life of Pi was perfect for me so I've gone for that in Best Pic & Director. And for Naomi Watts, I didn't overly enjoy The Impossible because it was a bit too gruesome for me in places and the subject matter isn't nice, but I thought she did a good job.

I remember going to see Flight and this is before I became really invested in movies/the Oscars, and it didn't strike me as a very Oscar-y film at all.

PICTURE: Les Miserables (Silver Linings was so close!)
ACTOR: Hugh Jackman- Les Miserables (Really close between him, Cooper and Washington!)
ACTRESS: Jennifer Lawrence- Silver Linings Playbook (Easy one for me, as good as Watts was )
SUP ACTOR: Robert De Niro- Silver Linings Playbook (Quite weak category)
SUP ACTRESS: Anne Hathaway- Les Miserables (Obviously.)
DIRECTOR: David O'Russel- Silver Linings Playbook (Poor category. Only seen SLP and Life Of Pi and we all know how much I love that latter movie!)

Naomi Watts was great in 'The Impossible', but for me I think Ewan McGregor was my favourite in that film!

Jennifer Lawrence in SLP was one of the most underwhelming winning performances EVER imo. Emmanuelle Riva should have bagged it, she gave such a moving performance in Amour!
