Oscar Predictions 2014

Oscar Predictions 2014 

Gravity, 12 Years A Slave, Her, The Hunt and Frozen. These are the films I would be rooting for this year. Any award they get would be brilliant. While American Hustle and Dallas Buyers Club deserve their nominations, any award given to them would leave a sour taste in my mouth. Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett and June Squibb are the actors I'm rooting for. One out of these will surely win. My star of the evening would be Alfonso Cuaron whose Oscar is already in the bag.
