Ok it's not sport but the annual Academy Awards does feel a bit like the Super Bowl with all the hype and everyone having an opinion on who or what film they think should win - or who should have been or shouldn't have been nominated for an Oscar.
One gripe I certainly had with this year's Oscars is the exclusion of Drive featuring the ever brilliant Ryan Gosling in one of his finest performances ever and Carey Mulligan from the running for Best Motion Picture despite the category now allowed to have 10 nominees.
Anyway, here are the big players of this year's Oscars..
My predictions on
Best Picture - The Artist, surely the best film of 2011 and one of the best films ever made. Yes it was made with a technique from another era which makes it a bit more unique but that's beside the point. If films were made to captivate and entertain the audience, the Artist certainly did fulfills these with tremendous aplomb.
Best Actor in Leading Role - Jean Dujardin. Without him the Artist wouldn't be what it is.
Best Actress in Leading Role - Meryl Streep. Iron Lady would be quite forgettable without her.
Best Actress in Supporting Role - Berenice Bejo for the Artist.
Directing - Martin Scorsese for Hugo. A film from the legendary filmmaker's heart.
