Who should and will win the Oscar
Feb 22, 2013, 7:04 AM | Updated: 8:01 am
This year’s Oscar campaign was two weeks longer than usual, since the Academy moved up its nominations deadline without moving up the actual Oscar ceremony. Whether the length of the campaigns had any effect on the Oscar outcomes will only be known come Sunday night. The Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actress categories look pretty locked up but there’s still a chance for some movement in the other top categories.
Here’s hoping there will be at least a few surprises.
