Oscars Picks - Jessica Chastain's Cojones

Best Motion Picture 
Lincoln This is the whole package; story, acting, directing and great cinema. It is a real feat to make the 13th Amendment great drama.
Achievement in Directing
David O. Russell, Silver Linings Playbook Why did I pick this guy? Spielberg and Ang Lee already have Oscars and the Academy likes to spread it around. Anyway it is a complicated and multi-level movie well done.

Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role
Daniel Day-Lewis, Lincoln
He is the complete actor. He inhabits his character from his clumpy walk to his unruly hair. Day-Lewsus could have been Honest Abe’s body double. Bummer! 

Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role
Jessica Chastain, Zero Dark Thirty
This woman had cojones. She played the role hard, as she had to.  

Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role
Alan Arkin, Argo
Alan Akin is the shit! This guy is pure New York attitude. He acts with natural force. 

Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role
Sally Field, Lincoln
I noticed of her acting right from the start. Not only was her resemblance to Marty Todd Lincoln uncanny she portrayed her as a tortured soul on the verge of insanity.

Original Screenplay Zero Dark Thirty, Mark Boal
Beats out the rest. A complicated story told.
Adapted Screenplay
Lincoln, Tony Kushner
If you can take a history book and make it into a great movie you deserves the Oscar. Enough said.
 Original Song
"Skyfall," Adele Adkins and Paul Epworth; Skyfall Heard it; liked it.

Achievement in Production Direction
Life of Pi
This is a very trippy movie. The scenes are surreal; simple but effective.
