Gravity has won the most awards with an impressive six wins but it’s 12 Years a Slave’s day as it picked up Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay. American Hustle gained four wins while Frozen, The Great Gatsby, Blue is the Warmest Colour and Lone Survivor got two. I’m not going to do in depth analysis but I’m stilled surprised Her is being praised as an “original” and “fresh” premise as it has exactly the same plot as a Big Bang Theory episode where a lonely Raj (Kunal Nayyar) falls in love with his I-Phone’s Siri. I’m probably not the first to say it but I haven’t heard anyone else pick up on it.

The only other major piece of news is the stunning new poster for Marvel and Sony’s superhero sequel The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Marc Webb directs and Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Paul Giamatti, Sally Field, Dane DeHaan and Chris Cooper star but today’s focus is the hopefully terrifying new villain Electro, played by Ray, Collateral and Django Unchained’s Jamie Foxx.

12 Years a Slave has an impressive haul with 9 nominations, as did American Hustle, but Gravity leads the way with 11. Captain Phillips scored 6 and Philomena, Saving Mr Banks, Behind the Candelabra, The Wolf of Wall Street, Blue Jasmine, Nebraska and Inside Llewyn Davis all made a great impression. Rush, The Great Gatsby, Gravity and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug all dominated the technical awards. Something I’m not convinced by is the nominees of the Best British Film award. Mandela, Philomena and The Selfish Giant are fair enough but is having a Brit on the producing credits really justifying Gravity (directed by a Mexican), Rush (directed by a Oklahoman) and Saving Mr Banks (directed by a Texan).

As for who will win, Best Film I’d narrow it down to 12 Years, American Hustle and Captain Phillips. Sandra Bullock (Gravity) may just pip Emma Thompson (Saving Mr Banks) to Best Leading Actress while I reckon Tom Hanks has Best Actor in the bag. Oprah Winfrey and Daniel Bruhl seem  like the most likely to respectively win Best Supporting Actress and Actor.

Alfonso Cuaron is my favourite for Best Director and I also predict American Hustle to win Best Original Screenplay and either The Wolf of Wall Street or Philomena for Best Adapted. I’d bet on Frozen for Best Animated Film but Gravity would probably win the most awards on the night but it’ll miss out on the main award of Best Film.

The event itself is on February 16th and here, on Tuorhoth Movies, we hope to be bringing live as-it-happens news updates so stay tuned. By for now!
