Lawrence beating Nyong'o will be a travesty.

Agreed (if it does actually happen).

[Eraserhead]

Leto wins best supporting actor. No surprise there (although Fassbender definitely deserved it more IMO).

Lawrence winning would not be an upset... it's line ball

The oddsmakers say it will be Lupita Nyong'o. It's not close either.

[Eraserhead]

Lupita slays the Lawrence dragon. Good for her. She deserved it.

Also makes 12 Years a Slave look even more inevitable as far as Best Picture is concerned.

[Eraserhead]

All I want is for Wolf of Wall Street to win alot.

Not gonna happen.

"All technical awards" - Gravity

[Eraserhead]

poor steve mcqueen

(that said Cuaron is one of the best directors in the game, so it's okay)

Indeed.

If anything, he should have won for Children of Men not Gravity.

[Eraserhead]

Looks like we're not gonna get any upsets in the major categories tonight. Another snoozefest as far as that goes.

[Eraserhead]

Not many surprises tonight. I picked 20/24 correctly. The others in my pool accused me of cheating.

Yeah, I got 20/24 as well. Sadly my job didn't have a pool this year since the guy who ran it moved away. It's so easy to figure out who'll win if you know where and what to look at.
