Analysis for the 86th Academy Awards

1. As mentioned in the previous post, the race among 12 Years A Slave, American Hustle and Gravity becomes more apparent and obvious after their victories in taking away the biggest awards in the Globes last night.
2. Her became the 'underdog' of the night when it won the Best Screenplay and the film could be the 'Black Horse' in the Oscars with unexpected nominations, such as Best Director (Spike Jonze).
3. Frozen is a promising lock in winning Best Animated Feature in the Oscars, with nominations as well in other categories.
4. Matthew and Jared in Dallas Buyers Club are the dream combination to win the Oscars after seeing their triumph in the Globes. Therefore, the love for this film is significant and hopefully, it will be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars.
5. 12 Years A Slave was the loser at the Globes in terms of number of wins, however it is still convincing to voters that it might win Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Picture at the Oscars. Interesting to see how Brad Pitt would campaign in the next few weeks when American Hustle stays strong with its ensemble of stars.
6. The winners marked with *** above would most likely win the Oscars, based on my current observations and predictions.
