With the Academy Awards scheduled for Sunday night, here’s my predictions for the non-acting awards.\u00a0 I likely have seen very few of these movies, so I will mostly be going on gut feel and word of mouth.<\/p>\n

Best Original Screenplay<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Amour<\/em>, Michael Hanake<\/p>\n

Django Unchained<\/em>, Quentin Tarantino<\/p>\n

Flight<\/em>, John Gatins<\/p>\n

Moonrise Kingdom<\/em>, Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola<\/p>\n

Zero Dark Thirty<\/em>, Mark Boal<\/strong><\/p>\n

I haven’t seen any of these films.\u00a0 Personally, I would like to see Quentin Tarantino win, but I don’t see that as a possibility given the n-word backlash he saw after the movie came out.\u00a0 Zero Dark Thirty<\/em> has the upper hand, I think.<\/p>\n

Best Adapted Screenplay<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Argo<\/em>, Chris Terrio<\/p>\n

Beasts of the Southern Wild<\/em>, Lucy Alibar and Benh Zeitlin,<\/p>\n

Life of Pi<\/em>, David Magee<\/p>\n

Lincoln<\/em>, Tony Kushner<\/p>\n

Silver Linings Playbook<\/em>, David O. Russell<\/strong><\/p>\n

Silver Linings Playbook<\/em> and Argo<\/em> are the two films here that I really want to see, with Lincoln<\/em> coming in a distant third.\u00a0 I’m not sure if SLP will do as well in the “big” categories as people are expecting, but I think it will pick up some hardware here.<\/p>\n

Best Animated Feature<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Brave<\/em><\/p>\n

Frankenweenie<\/em><\/p>\n

ParaNorman<\/em><\/p>\n

The Pirates! Band of Misfits<\/em><\/p>\n

Wreck-It Ralph<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Again,\u00a0I haven’t seen any of these and I’m likely not going to.\u00a0 That said, Wreck-It Ralph<\/em> looks to be the most fun out of these entries.\u00a0 Not to imply at all the Academy puts any consideration to fun.<\/p>\n

Best Cinematography<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Anna Karenina<\/em>, Seamus McGarvey<\/p>\n

Django Unchained<\/em>, Robert Richardson<\/strong><\/p>\n

Life of Pi<\/em>, Claudio Miranda<\/p>\n

Lincoln<\/em>, Janusz Kaminski<\/p>\n

Skyfall<\/em>, Roger Deakins<\/p>\n

My feeling is that this comes down to either Django Unchained<\/em> or Skyfall<\/em>, and I think James Bond loses this battle.<\/p>\n

Best Costume Design<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Anna Karenina<\/em>, Jacqueline Durran<\/p>\n

Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/em>, Paco Delgado<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lincoln<\/em>, Joanna Johnston<\/p>\n

Mirror Mirror<\/em>, Eiko Ishioka<\/p>\n

Snow White and the Huntsman<\/em>, Colleen Atwood<\/p>\n

I’ve actually seen 2 of these films. \u00a0 My thought is that it will come down to Lincoln<\/em> or\u00a0Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/em>, and who doesn’t like a musical?<\/p>\n

Best Documentary Feature<\/strong><\/h3>\n

5 Broken Cameras<\/em><\/p>\n

The Gatekeepers<\/em><\/p>\n

How to Survive a Plague<\/em><\/p>\n

The Invisible War<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Searching for Sugar Man<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve never even heard of any of these, so this is a total shot in the dark.<\/p>\n

Best Documentary Short Subject<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Inocente<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Kings Point<\/em><\/p>\n

Mondays at Racine<\/em><\/p>\n

Open Heart<\/em><\/p>\n

Redemption<\/em><\/p>\n

Again, this is a total guess for a category that I know nothing about.<\/p>\n

Achievement in Film Editing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Argo<\/em>, William Goldenberg<\/p>\n

Life of Pi<\/em>, Tim Squyres<\/p>\n

Lincoln<\/em>, Michael Kahn<\/p>\n

Silver Linings Playbook<\/em>, Jay Cassidy and Crispin Struthers<\/p>\n

Zero Dark Thirty<\/em>, Dylan Tichenor and William Goldenberg<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not having seen any of these films, I can’t say for certain, but I would think the war in Afghanistan and the hunt for Bin Laden would provide plenty of opportunity for film editing tricks.<\/p>\n

Best Foreign Language Film<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Amour<\/em>, Austria<\/p>\n

Kon-Tiki<\/em>, Norway<\/strong><\/p>\n

No<\/em>, Chile<\/p>\n

A Royal Affair<\/em>, Denmark<\/p>\n

War Witch<\/em>, Canada<\/p>\n

No clue about any of these.<\/p>\n

Achievement in Makeup and Hairstyling<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Hitchcock<\/em>,\u00a0Howard Berger, Peter Montagna and Martin Samuel<\/p>\n

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey<\/em>,\u00a0Peter Swords King, Rick Findlater and Tami Lane<\/strong><\/p>\n

Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/em>,\u00a0Lisa Westcott and Julie Dartnell<\/p>\n

I think The Hobbit rides the coattails of The Lord of the Rings trilogy and brings home the Oscar.<\/p>\n

Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures (Original Score)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Anna Karenina<\/em>, Dario Marianell<\/p>\n

Argo<\/em>, Alexandre Desplat<\/p>\n

Life of Pi<\/em>, Mychael Danna<\/p>\n

Lincoln<\/em>, John Williams<\/strong><\/p>\n

Skyfall<\/em>, Thomas Newman<\/p>\n

I admit, I’m going for the name here since I haven’t seen any of these films. \u00a0But if his history is any indication, this is a strong choice.<\/p>\n

Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures (Original Song)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Before My Time<\/em> from Chasing Ice<\/em>,\u00a0Music and Lyric by J. Ralph<\/p>\n

Everybody Needs A Best Friend<\/em> from Ted<\/em>,\u00a0Music by Walter Murphy; Lyric by Seth MacFarlane<\/p>\n

Pi\u2019s Lullaby<\/em> from Life of Pi<\/em>,\u00a0Music by Mychael Danna; Lyric by Bombay Jayashri<\/p>\n

Skyfall<\/em> from Skyfall<\/em>,\u00a0Music and Lyric by Adele Adkins and Paul Epworth<\/strong><\/p>\n

Suddenly<\/em> from Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/em>,\u00a0Music by Claude-Michel Sch\u00f6nberg; Lyric by Herbert Kretzmer and Alain Boublil<\/p>\n

Adele should bring home the gold for her theme from the latest James Bond flick.<\/p>\n

Achievement in Production Design<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Anna Karenina<\/em>,\u00a0Production Design: Sarah Greenwood; Set Decoration: Katie Spencer<\/p>\n

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey<\/em>,\u00a0Production Design: Dan Hennah; Set Decoration: Ra Vincent and Simon Bright<\/p>\n

Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/em>,\u00a0Production Design: Eve Stewart; Set Decoration: Anna Lynch-Robinson<\/strong><\/p>\n

Life of Pi<\/em>,\u00a0Production Design: David Gropman; Set Decoration: Anna Pinnock<\/p>\n

Lincoln<\/em>,\u00a0Production Design: Rick Carter; Set Decoration: Jim Erickson<\/p>\n

My money is on Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/em>, which just so happens to be the one nominated film that I’ve seen.<\/p>\n

Best Animated Short Film<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Adam and Dog<\/em>, Minkyu Lee<\/p>\n

Fresh Guacamole<\/em>, PES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Head Over Heels<\/em>, Timothy Reckart and Fodhla Cronin O\u2019Reilly<\/p>\n

Maggie Simpson in \u201cThe Longest Daycare\u201d<\/em>, David Silverman<\/p>\n

Paperman<\/em>, John Kahrs<\/p>\n

Best Live Action Short Film<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Asad<\/em>, Bryan Buckley and Mino Jarjoura<\/p>\n

Buzkashi Boys<\/em>, Sam French and Ariel Nasr<\/p>\n

Curfew<\/em>, Shawn Christensen<\/strong><\/p>\n

Death of a Shadow (Dood van een Schaduw)<\/em>, Tom Van Avermaet and Ellen De Waele<\/p>\n

Henry<\/em>, Yan England<\/p>\n

These picks are based on nothing but pure alchemy.<\/p>\n

Achievement in Sound Editing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Argo<\/em>, Erik Aadahl and Ethan Van der Ryn<\/p>\n

Django Unchained<\/em>, Wylie Stateman<\/p>\n

Life of Pi<\/em>, Eugene Gearty and Philip Stockton<\/p>\n

Skyfall<\/em>, Per Hallberg and Karen Baker Landers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zero Dark Thirty<\/em>, Paul N.J. Ottosson<\/p>\n

Another shot for James Bond to bring home an Oscar.<\/p>\n

Achievement in Sound Mixing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Argo<\/em>,\u00a0John Reitz, Gregg Rudloff and Jose Antonio Garcia<\/p>\n

Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/em>,\u00a0Andy Nelson, Mark Paterson and Simon Hayes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Life of Pi<\/em>,\u00a0Ron Bartlett, D.M. Hemphill and Drew Kunin<\/p>\n

Lincoln<\/em>,\u00a0Andy Nelson, Gary Rydstrom and Ronald Judkins<\/p>\n

Skyfall<\/em>,\u00a0Scott Millan, Greg P. Russell and Stuart Wilson<\/p>\n

My guess is that this is another trophy for Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/em>. \u00a0Putting a stage show on film, where all of the actors sang live, likely took some mixing acumen.<\/p>\n

Achievement in Visual Effects<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey<\/em>,\u00a0Joe Letteri, Eric Saindon, David Clayton and R. Christopher White<\/p>\n

Life of Pi<\/em>,\u00a0Bill Westenhofer, Guillaume Rocheron, Erik-Jan De Boer and Donald R. Elliott<\/p>\n

Marvel\u2019s The Avengers<\/em>,\u00a0Janek Sirrs, Jeff White, Guy Williams and Dan Sudick<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prometheus<\/em>,\u00a0Richard Stammers, Trevor Wood, Charley Henley and Martin Hill<\/p>\n

Snow White and the Huntsman<\/em>,\u00a0Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, Philip Brennan, Neil Corbould and Michael Dawson<\/p>\n

The last category is the first where I’ve seen the majority of the films. \u00a0This may be my inner fanboy speaking, but I have to think that The Avengers<\/em> takes this one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
