The 86th Annual Academy Awards are this Sunday so naturally we're engaged in the guessing game of who will go home with an Oscar. But will the winners be the ones we truly wanted to see get the nod? There are precious few shoo-ins in this year's Oscars race as 2013 was a particularly fine years for films.
Below you'll find a list of the Oscar nominees in the biggest categories, along with our picks of who we think should win and who we think will win. (That's an important distinction!) We've also included the results of our Readers' Poll where we asked you to pick the winners in the following categories: Best Picture, Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Director, and Visual Effects.
- 12 Years a Slave
- American Hustle
- Captain Phillips
- Dallas Buyers Club
- Gravity
- Her
- Nebraska
- Philomena
- The Wolf of Wall Street
Who Will Win: 12 Years a Slave. Jim Vejvoda's stubborn belief that American Hustle will prevail based solely on the actors' bloc aside, it's the majority view amongst IGN entertainment editors that the slavery drama will take home this year's top prize.
Who Should Win: Gravity. Well, it did win IGN's award as the Best Movie of 2013!
IGN Readers' Pick: 12 Years a Slave, with 31% of the vote.
- Christian Bale, American Hustle
- Bruce Dern, Nebraska
- Chiwetel Ejiofor, 12 Years a Slave
- Matthew McConaughey, Dallas Buyers Club
- Leonardo DiCaprio, The Wolf of Wall Street
Who Will Win: McConaughey. Awright, awright, awright.
Who Should Win: We're torn between wanting Leo or Chiwetel to win instead.
IGN Readers' Pick: Leonardo DiCaprio (59%)
- Amy Adams, American Hustle
- Cate Blanchett, Blue Jasmine
- Judi Dench, Philomena
- Meryl Streep, August: Osage County
- Sandra Bullock, Gravity
Who Will Win: Cate Blanchett. She's a lock.
Who Should Win: Blanchett.
IGN Readers' Pick: Sandra Bullock (38%)
- Barkhad Abdi, Captain Phillips
- Bradley Cooper, American Hustle
- Michael Fassbender, 12 Years a Slave
- Jonah Hill, The Wolf of Wall Street
- Jared Leto, Dallas Buyers Club
Who Will Win: Jared Leto. He's a virtual lock having won a slew of awards so far.
Who Should Win: Leto, although we'd also kind of love to see Jonah Hill get it.
IGN Readers' Pick: Jared Leto (32%)
- Sally Hawkins, Blue Jasmine
- Jennifer Lawrence, American Hustle
- Lupita Nyong’o, 12 Years a Slave
- Julia Roberts, August: Osage County
- June Squibb, Nebraska
Who Will Win: Lupita Nyong’o. She won the Screen Actors Guild award, besting her biggest rival here, Jennifer Lawrence.
Who Should Win: Lupita, although some of us have a soft spot for June Squibb.
IGN Readers' Pick: Jennifer Lawrence (65%)
- Alfonso Cuarón, Gravity
- Steve McQueen, 12 Years a Slave
- Alexander Payne, Nebraska
- David O. Russell, American Hustle
- Martin Scorsese, The Wolf of Wall Street
Who Will Win: Alfonso Cuarón. He's won every other directing prize so far so why not the Oscar, too?
Who Should Win: Cuaron, although Steve McQueen won a smattering of votes.
IGN Readers' Pick: Alfonso Curaon (41%)
- The Croods
- Despicable Me 2
- Ernest & Celestine
- Frozen
- The Wind Rises
Who Will Win: Frozen, because we simply can't, ahem, let it go.
Who Should Win: Frozen, although Scott Collura wants to see Miyazaki's swan song The Wind Rises take home the Oscar.
- Before Midnight, Richard Linklater, Julie Delpy, Ethan Hawke
- Captain Phillips, Billy Ray
- Philomena, Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope
- 12 Years a Slave, John Ridley
- The Wolf of Wall Street, Terence Winter
Who Will Win: 12 Years a Slave
Who Should Win: 12 Years a Slave
- American Hustle, Eric Warren Singer and David O. Russell
- Blue Jasmine, Woody Allen
- Dallas Buyers Club, Craig Borten & Melisa Wallack
- Her, Spike Jonze
- Nebraska, Bob Nelson
Who Will Win: Her, although our tally had American Hustle just one vote behind.
Who Should Win: Her
- Gravity
- The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
- Iron Man 3
- The Lone Ranger
- Star Trek Into Darkness
Who Will Win: Gravity. The only thing more certain than death and taxes is this.
Who Should Win: Gravity. Smaug looked awesome, but Gravity made us feel like we really were in space.
IGN Readers' Pick: Gravity (60%)
Steven Price will likely win Original Score for Gravity. Golden Globe loss aside, Frozen's "Let it Go" pretty much has Original Song locked up. Foreign Film will almost certainly go to The Great Beauty. Gravity will take Best Cinematography, while Production Design is The Great Gatsby's to lose and American Hustle seems poised to win Costume Design. We expect Gravity to also win Film Editing; this award is traditionally a solid indicator of what will also win Best Picture.
We now live in a world where "and the Oscar goes to ... Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa" is a distinct possibility for the category of Makeup & Hairstyling.
Gravity is likely to win for both Sound Editing and Sound Mixing. We anticipate that The Act of Killing will win Best Documentary.
Disney's Get a Horse! (seen before Frozen) will likely snag the Best Animated Short. Industry conventional wisdom peg The Lady in Number 6: Music Saved My Life to win Best Documentary Short and Helium to take home Best Live Action Short.
We encourage you to play Academy Voter in the Comments Section and sound off with your Oscar picks. The Academy Awards will be broadcast this Sunday, March 2nd, at 7pm EST/4pm PST on ABC.
