Like Gravity or not (I thought it was average), Cuaron put on a clinic. That movie was visually flawless, and the only thing that hampered it was a dead plot.

Otherwise, it's a pretty good slate this year. I (personally) thought Nebraska was a total joke to even be nominated (I found it pretty boring and mostly hollow, my least favourite film of his thus far). I thought Wolf of Wall Street was fantastic, but I don't see it really deserving of any awards.

I expect Gravity to clean up most of the technical awards, Gatsby to rock the design awards, 12 Years and Dallas to rock the big dramatic awards, and I'm really hoping Her picks up what it can (Spike Jonze should be a lock for writing).

Oh, and it should be hilarious watching Jackass win an Oscar. Yikes.

I think that was the most prophetic post I've ever made. I'll start telling your future, $20 a pop.
