2013 Oscar Predictions: Best Picture

Indiewire will offer frequent up-dates of our forecasts for the 85th Academia Prizes through Feb Twenty fourth, when the champions are declared.



Remember monthly ago when it seemed like this classification was "Lincoln"'s to reduce, with "Life of Pi" and "Silver Designs Playbook" it's nearest challengers? It seemed only affordable, since they had both best image and best home nominations (which as you've probaby observed 1,000 periods in the last 30 days -- only 3 movies have ever won best image without best home, the last being "Driving Skip Daisy"). But then the Fantastic Bulbs, SAGs, DGAs, PGAs and BAFTA Prizes all assisted generate Mr. Affleck from underdog to overall leader as the crazy, crazy generate to a leader in this classification has lastly arrived on "Argo."  Which will now have the underwhelming heritage of being used as an example together with "Driving Skip Daisy" when Oscar geeks try and create forecast justifications...
