Looks like the Oscar race is firmly between American Hustle and 12 Years a Slave now, but we'll have to see what happens when the Oscar nominations come in on Thursday. The guilds, which always tell the real story, will weigh in in soon when SAG and PGA vote next weekend. The Hollywood Foreign Press are not the industry voters, so if there's a difference in taste we'll see it soon. As for the acting wins, Cate Blanchett and Jared Leto kick off what's soon to be a steamroller awards season for both of them, while there's a tough race for Best Actor, depending on who gets nominated Thursday. Jennifer Lawrence wins two years in a row, but it's still hard to imagine her doing the same thing at the Oscars, while Amy Adams is, like Leo, in a race to simply be nominated. As for my own predictions, I got all the acting winners right, but bombed out on Song, Score, Screenplay and Drama Picture, which I thought for sure would be Gravity. Still, for my first time predicting the Globes, 10/14 isn't too bad.
