• Amour - Michael Haneke.
• Argo - Ben Affleck.
• Beasts of the Southern Wild - Benh Zeitlin.
• Django Unchained - Quentin Tarantino.
• Les Misérables - Tom Hooper.
• Life of Pi - Ang Lee.
• Lincoln - Steven Spielberg.
• Silver Linings Playbook - David O.Russel.
• Zero Dark Thirty - Katherine Bigelow.

Well, it's time to pick my winner. I'd like to see rewarded Zero Dark Thirty, otherwise Django Unchained. If I thought like the Academy though, I'd give the Oscar to Argo. My second choice is Lincoln. We'll see.
