Best Picture
Amour
Argo
Beasts of the Southern Wild
Django Unchained
Les Miserablés
Life of Pi
Lincoln
Silver Linings Playbook
Zero Dark Thirty
Very open category. Personally, I like Silver Linings Playbook, Argo and Django Unchained for his category, although I do believe Lincoln and Les Miserablès are strong contenders. Maybe Zero Dark Thirty? Life of Pi was an entertaining movie, however I think of it more as a typical contender for the special effects-awards. Django Unchained is entertaining as hell, but it might not be a typical candidate to win Best Picture. Amour is definitely an outsider, and the fact it is nominated here definitely gives it the edge as a favorite amongst the foreign language films. Beasts of the Southern Wild would be a surprising choice, but it´s not impossible. All in all, I consider Lincoln and Les Miserablés the most typical choices from an Academy-point of view. Django Unchained would be a brave choice, considering it´s content, as would Zero Dark Thirty be.

Amour is definitely the favorite, and everything else will be considered a surprise. The danish movie A Royal Affair was very good in my opinion, with Mads Mikkelsen and Alicia Vikander great in the two leading roles. No, starring Gael García Bernal, is also an outsider. The story of how Pinochet´s dictatorship in Chile ended is intriguing and interesting. Bernal is a top actor, and the supporting cast was also impressive. Kon-Tiki, the Norwegian movie, is also an entertaining movie, showing Thor Heyerdahl´s crossing of the Pacific on a balsa wood raft. War Witch is a Canadian movie telling the story of a young girl´s life as a kid soldier in Africa. Rachel Mwanza is impressive in the lead role, but the movie suffers due to the fact that one doesn´t really get close enough to the characters.
