There have been some rumors floating around (source: TOR.com) that ALL SIX actors that have portrayed James Bond on screen will appear together for the very first time on the Oscar stage, including Sean Connery and Roger Moore. If the Academy can pull this off, I think this would be one the greatest Oscar moments ever! But, I'm not holding my breath for it to happen.
I've seen the list of nominations. Is it just me or is this one of the hardest-to-predict years in a long time?
Will Argo win Best Picture or will Lincoln? Or will Silver Linings Playbook sweep? I don't know.
In the race for Best Supporting Actor this year, all of the nominated actors have previously won Oscars: Alan Arkin, Robert DeNiro, Philip Seymour Hoffa, Tommy Lee Jones, and Christoph Waltz.
This is the first time in the history of the Academy Awards that this has ever happened in any acting category - all 5 nominees have Oscars already.
Voters will have to decide which of these actors they'll award a 2nd Oscar to. Or, in Mr. DeNiro's case, a 3rd Oscar - he already has Oscars for Raging Bull and The Godfather Part II. I would like to see DeNiro win. I haven't seen the film he's nominated for, but no doubt he is great. A third Oscar could also represent all of his work since his last Oscar win (in 1980 for Raging Bull)
On Oscar night, I'll be rooting for two movies in particular: Prometheus to win Best Special Effects. And my favorite movie of the year - Skyfall - to win everything it's nominated for!
Do you have any favorites you'll be rooting for at this year's Oscars?
