Oscar Predictions 2013

I did this in 2009, 2010, and 2012, so I thought I would give it a try again. These are my Oscar Predictions (and reasons) in green. I am only guessing for the major categories. I will update the actual winners in red. Anything in dark blue are categories I guess correctly in. Unfortunately I did not get to see all of this years nominated movies, so these are my best guesses of personal observation (when possible) and popular talk (for what its worth). I am only doing 6 categories tonight.  If anyone else wants to play, jump in. In 2009 I got 5/8 (only 63%); in 2010 I got 5/7 (71%); and in 2012 I got 3/6 (50%) - lets see how I do this year.

5/6 this year!!
