 Spreading the wealth So, despite two movies scoring more than 10 nods, it looks like no film might win more than three Oscars. Could it go like this?
Argo - Picture, Adapted Screenplay, Editing
Lincoln - Director, Actor, Supporting Actor
Skyfall - Song, Cinematography, Sound Editing
Life of Pi - Score, Visual Effects, Sound Mixing
Les Misérables - Supporting Actress, Art Direction
Amour - Foreign Film
The Hobbit - Makeup
Silver Linings Playbook - Actress
Django - Original Screenplay
Anna Karenina- Costume Design
Seven out of the nine BP nominees winning at least one Oscar...four films winning three Oscars each. That#d be a total 2005 repeat - Crash, Brokeback Mountain, King Kong and Memoirs of a Geisha also winning three each with Crash/BBM splitting BP/BD.
Hell, I could see a scenario in which Skyfall would walk away with most wins...
On the other hand, the Academy might despite to finally honor Alexandre Desplat - for one of his least remarkable scores - and give Argo an Oscar for its Score as well.

Re: Spreading the wealth David wrote: I hope Anna Karenina wins two. I don't know what for, though. It might win none if the Academy likes Les Mis. I am thinking Costume design, but for Art Direction they might prefer a film bigger in scale. In the other categories, the competition is way too harsh. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Re: Spreading the wealth I know it will not win score, but I believe it has a fighting chance for art direction and a very strong chance to win costume design.

Re: Spreading the wealth You prefer one movie taking all instead of rewarding a lot of movies? Interesting. Depending on the year/movie, I could go either way.

Re: Spreading the wealth I hated the year Master and Commander lost so many awards it richly deserved because it was their last chance to honor The Lord of the Rings.

Re: Spreading the wealth Also because in most tech categories ROTK was superior and in BP/BD, even if ROTK had not been there, Mystic River would have been the frontrunner.

Cause I feel like the opposite. Like the last four years in a row, one film walked away with everything. Hurt Locker, King's Speech, Slumdog, The Artist, they all won several awards and each had way too many nominations. We haven't had a BP 3 award winner in YEARS _________________

Re: Spreading the wealth I find these years with the biggest winner taking 4-5 awards, boring.
I want more major sweeps.

Re: Spreading the wealth To Algren,
Inglourious Basterds should have been one of those movies. But that turned out to be the year to reward Bigelow, not Tarantino.

Hmm, I was rooting for Inglourious Basterds, Up in the Air and Avatar that year, in all different categories. But yeah, I would have liked it if Tarantino got more recognition than one award. _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG
