    Five wishes come Oscar morning

    What are your biggest wishes this year?To be more interesting i suggest writing only those possibilities which are contenders or long shots but not undeniable locks.

    For example,stating your five wishes are Lincoln and Argo for picture,Spielberg and Affleck for directors and Argo for screenplay would kill all the fun

    Mine:

    Moonrise Kingdom for Best Picture
    The Perks Of Being a Wallflower for Best Screenplay
    Looper for Best Screenplay
    Roger Deakins for Best Cinematography
    Rachel Weisz for Best Actress

    Yours?

    Emmanuelle Riva for Best Actress
    Rachel Weisz for Best Actress
    Moonrise Kindgom for Best Picture
    Django Unchained for Best Production Design
    Michael Haneke for Best Original Screenplay (I fear that he will miss. Oscar-nominated Michael Haneke sounds too good to be true.)

    Still haven't seen most of the realistic contenders. So:

    Haneke, Best Director nominee.
    Moonrise Kingdom gives Wes Anderson his deserved first Costume and Art nominations.
    Marion Cotillard.
    Desplat gets more than one nom.
    A Mexican nom (Argo's cinematography or sound, Avengers sound or The Impossible's production design)

    I would be happy with these, except I would hope that The Master shows up in Supporting Actor and Actress and Production Design
