Oscar Picks for 2012…

The Artist... My pick for BEST PIC!

It’s that time of year again, and although the announcement of the nominees were made yesterday, I wanted to give you my unadulterated picks BEFORE I get influenced by what different people might be saying… So here’s my picks according to my gut feeling, and I’ll keep this one relatively short and sweet – let me know what picks you may agree or disagree with and for whatever reason… Here goes:

Best Picture: The Artist (my favorite movie of 2011…)

Best Director: Michel Hazanavicius for The Artist

Best Actor: George Clooney for Descendants

Best Actress: Meryl Streep for Iron Lady (although I want VIOLA DAVIS to win for THE HELP)

Best Supporting Actor: Christopher Plummer for Beginners

Best Supporting Actress: Octavia Spencer for The Help

Best Animated Film: Rango (where is TINTIN?)

Best Foreign Film: A Separation

Best Original Screenplay: Midnight in Paris

Best Adapted Screenplay: The Descendants

What’s your thoughts on this years nominees? Are your picks similar? different?
