Full Predictions For The 2013 Academy Awards

The 85th Academy Awards are being presented this Sunday night, and while we will have full coverage of the show and winners for you then, I thought it would be good to set the stage before the big event with my personal predictions for the awards.

Best Production Design

Recommended Videos

Anna Karenina

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Les Misérables

Life of Pi

Lincoln

Another category where I just assume the Academy’s love of Life of Pi’s visuals will lead them to give it an Oscar. It is far from the most deserving of the five – again, the film is an achievement of effects more than anything else – but among the likely winners, it is the flashiest. Still, I cannot imagine anyone actually watching The Hobbit and not giving it the win; Jackson’s Middle Earth is a masterful feat of production design if ever there was one.

Will Win: Life of Pi

Should Win: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Best Costume Design

Anna Karenina, Jacqueline Durran

Les Misérables, Paco Delgado

Lincoln, Joanna Johnston

Mirror Mirror, Eiko Ishioka

Snow White and the Huntsman, Colleen Atwood

Anna Karenina certainly did not ‘clean up’ at the nominations, but the Academy obviously loves the film’s visual palette, and this seems like the easiest place to award it, as well as the category’s most likely winner.

Will Win: Anna Karenina

Should Win: Lincoln 

Best Makeup and Hairstyling

Hitchcock

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Les Misérables

Will Win: Les Miserables

Should Win: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
