Which Oscars will Argo win?

[El Aurens]

I'm not as curious to see how many Oscars you think Argo will win, as much as which ones you think it will win.

Select up to 7 in the poll. Or you can select the last option, if you think it will go home empty-handed.

[Bean]

At this point my best guess is Picture, Adapted Screenplay, Editing, and one of the Sound categories. I'm just baffled as to why.

Matching the same 3 as Crash looks about right.

Maybe that means Ang Lee will also win again.

[Aurelius]

At this point my best guess is Picture, Adapted Screenplay, Editing, and one of the Sound categories. I'm just baffled as to why.

Same here. The Sound category will be Sound Mixing.

[City Lights]

Pic, A.SP, Editing, Score

I'm going with Picture, Editing, and Score for now. I think the first two are nearly locked at this point, but it's a crapshoot after that. Pi could easily win Score, but then what else does Argo win? Adapted Screenplay is probably next in line, though I'm still holding against hope that Kushner can win that award.

Sound Editing is such a tough category to call. If Zero Dark Thirty is going to win anything, it'll likely be this. Or they could throw Skyfall some love. But as of now, I'm still going with Pi for this one.

[Souler]

Picture, Screenplay, Editing.

+1.

Aurens?
Have you been here before?

I said the same thing on a poll s/he posted a while back. Is this the Aurens?

Another for Picture, Screenplay, Editing. I expect Life of Pi to take the techs, though I suppose Argo can win them if the Academy goes bonkers for the film. Remember Life of Pi was really loved too, as it completely maxed out with 12 noms. I don't really see a path for Arkin to win.

[Atonenent.]

Hmm, I am not sure why I keep holding on to Lincoln. Just Editing until Affleck wins DGA, and then it's:

Picture
Editing
Sound Mixing
Sound Editing (they don't split that often and they'll be looking for ways to reward it)
with Adapted Screenplay up next, but I'm holding on to Kushner

[James]

I voted for Picture, Adapted Screenplay, Editing and Score. The one that I'm the most confident in is Picture

Although Argo could take the Sound awards, I don't think its strong enough in Sound Editing to take that, I think the showier work in Life of Pi, Skyfall or Zero Dark Thirty will win there. I think Les Miz is pretty safe in Mixing, they've been touting the live singing since the summer and musicals already have an advantage in this category.

I still think Kushner will win Adapted Screenplay...

Picture, Editing, Sound Mixing and Sound Editing sound about right. It could win Adapted Screenplay in a sweep though. Hell, it could even win Score, but I still think Life of Pi is taking that to accompany the Visual Effects win. The only one it can't win is Sup. Actor.

[Markku Palo]

Picture, Screenplay, Editing. I'm on the fence about score. Pi seems likelier, but Desplat is arguably overdue and this could be a good chance to give him his first.

I'm not sold on the sound categories. That would indeed require a sweep, and I'm sensing more of a "lots of films getting a few major wins" -kind of year. Argo winning picture and only one other major (i.e. editing) is entirely possible.

[Aldo]

Ironically, BP is Argo's safest bet for a win right now. Lincoln looked like the frontrunner for Adapted but I now doubt Argo can pull a Chicago -a musical- and win BP versus a film that won BD and screenplay.

And then either Editing or Sound Mixing. Or both. I don't really get why Sound Editing is getting more votes than mixing here.

I highly doubt it will get more than three statuettes. I'd love if it didn't win a SINGLE award before BP. It would make it more exciting and quite nonsense to see a film win only BP.

Score goes to Life of Pi, Sound Mixing to Les Miserables, and Supporting Actor to Tommy Lee Jones.
