Screen-Shot’s Oscar 2014 Predicitons.

The end of award season brings with it the grand daddy of them all, The Oscars. Tonight the Dolby Theatre in LA will be host to an array of Hollywoods finest, as they gather to celebrate the achievement of their peers for the 86th Academy Awards. As ever, the majority of the attention will be on the big prizes up for grabs, while the rest, will be on Jennifer Lawrence. With that, here’s our predictions for some of the main awards on offer tonight.

Best Picture

Winner –  12 Years A Slave

In what could be considered a poor year for The Best Picture category, 12 Years A Slave‘s stellar cast and powerful subject matter make it a clear winner. There were no punches pulled by Director Steve McQueen in this brutally honest portrayal of slavery in the pre civil-War United States. Slow, brooding and occasionally gruesome, 12 Years A Slave can at times be a struggle to watch, but like many great, thought provoking films, you don’t appreciate it till the credits have rolled and you’ve had time to reflect.

Best Director

Winner – Alfonso Cuarón (Gravity)

Unfortunately Gravity will be the recipient of at least one top award, and after the film made history by claiming a joint Best Film award at the PGA’s,(shared with 12 Years A Slave) let’s hope it’s just the one! Alfonso Cuarón’s tremendous utilisation of CGI papered over the cracks of a film that offered nothing in terms of story or character. Usually the Academy celebrates realism but such momentum has gathered behind Gravity that it’s difficult to see this award going anywhere else. Visually the film did impress, while the 3D was nothing we haven’t seen before, the setting Cuarón was able to create for his protagonist, with nothing but a green screen, was impressive…. I suppose.

Best Actor

Winner – Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Buyers Club)

No one loves aids like the the Oscars, and that’ll be proved again tonight when Matthew McConaughey saunters up those now infamous Dolby Theatre steps to collect the award that, let’s face it, no one would have predicted 5 years ago. What’s more, it’ll be thoroughly deserved, McConaughey has hit a purple patch in his career and it seems he can do no wrong.  Add to that, by losing 40 pounds and making himself, dare I say it, unattractive, McConaughey has ticked all the right boxes in terms of Oscar bait. Unfortunately for Leo, Chiwetel and co, no one can stop this McConaughey train right now.

Best Actress

Winner – Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine)

Cate Blanchett has been poised to take home this award since the day Blue Jasmine was released, and she’s still holding on nicely after wins from SAG, the Critics Choice and the Golden Globes. Had Amy Adams not been nominated, it would basically be a 99.9% done deal.

Best Supporting Actress

Winner – Lupita Nyong’o (12 Years A Slave)

Lupita v. Jennifer: This is the definite showdown in this race, as the two have basically split all the precursors. Lupita probably has the edge though. Will voters really want to give 23 year old Lawrence two Oscars in two years? It’s definitely possible, but Lawrence doesn’t even seem to want it, she didn’t show up to accept her BAFTA, and hasn’t been campaigning much. Nyong’o, on the other hand, has been the breakout star of this awards season, nailing every speech and interview there was. Lupita to win, but just.

Best Supporting Actor

Winner – Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club)

The lead singer of 30 Second To Mars returns to the big screen with a performance proving what an all-round talent the man possesses. Almost unrecognisable as cross dressing Rayon in Dallas Buyers Club, Leto has won almost every precursor leading up to the Oscars, which makes him one of the surest bets of the night.
