2014 OSCARS: My Final Predictions In All Categories

Yesterday I posted my predictions post for the Top 8 Academy Awards categories and today, just a few hours before the Oscars begin at  5:30pm PDT (hosted by Ellen Degeneres) I am publicizing my final predictions (no guts, no glory!) in all 24 categories. Last year I only got 14 of 24 correct. I hope to do better this year.

Best Picture: Gravity (2nd: 12 Years A Slave) 

Director: Alfonso Cuaron (2nd: David O. Russell) 

Original Screenplay: Her (2nd: American Hustle)

Actress: Cate Blanchett (2nd: Amy Adams) 

Supporting Actress: Lupita Nyong'o (2nd: Jennifer Lawrence) 

Supporting Actor: Bradley Cooper  (2nd: Jared Leto) 

Editing: Gravity (2nd: Captain Phillips) 

Production Design: Great Gatsby (2nd: American Hustle) 

Sound Mixing: Gravity (2nd: Captain Phillips) 

Sound Editing: Gravity (2nd: All Is Lost) 

Cinematography: Gravity  (2nd: Inside Llewyn Davis) 

Costume Design: American Hustle (2nd: The Great Gatsby) 

Documentary: 20 Feet From Stardom   (2nd: The Square) 

Foreign Language: The Great Beauty (Italy) (2nd: The Hunt (Denmark)) 

Animated Film: Frozen (2nd: The Wind Rises) 

Makeup: Dallas Buyers Club

Score: Gravity (2nd: Philomena) 

Song: "Happy" (from Happy Feet 2) (2nd: "Let It Go" from Frozen) 

Visual Effects: Gravity  (2nd: Star Trek Into Darkness) 

Animated Short: Get A Horse (2nd: Feral) 

Live Action Short: Helium (2nd: Avant Que De Tout Perdre)  

Documentary Short: Cavedigger (2nd: Lady in Number 6)

I think the big winer will be Gravity with at least 6 Oscars, but there's an outside chance 12 Years A Slave could outshine it in the Top 8 (Picture, Adapted Screenplay, Supporting Actress, Supporting Actor).
