Life of Pi takes two key awards, although the top award goes to Skyfall. Both battle it out at the Oscars, where both are likely to win. Often, both sound Oscars go to the same film, but since the clear Sound Mixing favourite, Les Miserables, is not nominated for Sound Editing, this award could be up for grabs. Argo, Django Unchained and Zero Dark Thirty are also nominated at the Oscars, and any one of them could take it, particularly Argo, with its ever-increasing popularity among voters. These were the nominations.

  1. Nothing at all surprising here I'd say. I know ARGO looks certain to win the other sound award at the Oscars.

    1. You think Argo's certain to win Sound Mixing? I'd say Les Mis is certain there. This one's wide open though.

  2. Hello, brother.
    My PC got crashed on Sunday. Took 2 days to get it working again.
    Unfortunate.
    Tried desperately to comment on screen on screen through my basic set mobile unsuccessfully.
    But now its running, hopefully shouldn't have anymore technical glitches and crashes till Oscar at the least.
    Damn me. Missed lot of action.
    Anyway back to content.

    ACE Eddie Film Editing -
    Argo is apparently lock.
    But still banking on most deserving Zero Dark Thirty to pull a surprise.
    Silver Linings Playbook win over Moonrise Kingdom is disheartening.
    What was the silver lining in the editing of Silver Linings Playbook?
    It has won because no other film in the comedy/musical category of Ace Edddie is nominated for Oscar.
    Inclusion of Ted just deems the category forgettable.
    Hoping Goldenberg shares the Oscar with Tichenor.

    CAS -
    Could it be Les Miserables' only oscar besides Best Supporting Actress?

    WGA -
    Original Screenplay-
    Still 3 way horse, and all deserving.
    Wish Anderson and Copolla had better chances.
    Haneke vs Tarantino vs Boal.
    Boal's win would be cherished.
    Haneke's win would be remembered.
    Tarantino's win would be celebrated.

    Adapted Screenplay -
    Still scratching my head over Argo's supreme momentum.
    My money is still on Kushner.
    How Russell pulled the BAFTA, is out of my comprehension.
    Hopefully it's Terrio vs Kushner.

    MPSE -
    This category is up in the air.
    Guilds nominated Zero Dark Thirty in sound mixing and ignored in sound editing.
    Academy did the exact opposite. Wish it had better chances.
    Life of Pi vs Skyfall.
    Should be either of the two.

    1. Sound Editing could even go to Argo. But I'm in agreement with you - it looks like Life of Pi vs. Skyfall, and I'm torn.

      I think Les Mis could also win Make-Up alongside Supporting Actress and Sound Mixing. Maybe even Production Design and/or Costume Design if it's lucky!

      Gosh, wouldn't it be great if Zero Dark Thirty won Film Editing? I know Argo's editing was very good, but I preferred Zero Dark Thirty's. It'd be like The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo deservedly winning last year. Argo could go home with Best Picture and nothing else!
