9. Director - Gravity

10. Documentary Feature - The Act of Killing

11. Documentary Short - The Lady in Number 6: Music Saved My Life

12. Film Editing - Gravity

13. Foreign Language Film - The Great Beauty (tough call!)

14. Makeup - Dallas Buyers Club (easiest category there is considering the competition)

15. Score - Gravity

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

They do... but I think it is very close. They're too focused on the fact that Lawrence won last year... but if you ask Christoph Waltz, the GG+BAFTA combo is very potent.

I'm picking Lawrence, but it'll be a tiny number of votes each way.

Her losing to Gatsby for production design is the worst thing the Oscars has ever done. Angry

Back off...

But honestly, Her was great, but you never, ever bet against Catherine Martin at the Oscars.
