Your Guide to the Oscars

Movies with Abe presents your guide to tonight's Oscars. Click on each category heading for detailed analysis of all nominees in every category. Below please find my final predictions for the winners. The big surprise that I’m betting on is Michael Haneke for Best Director, and also Emmanuelle Riva for Best Actress. I’m really hoping that “Beasts of the Southern Wild” doesn’t go home empty-handed since it was so wonderful, and that “Silver Linings Playbook,” which I did enjoy, doesn’t hog too many of the prizes. Post your own predictions in the comments, and enjoy the ceremony! I'm hosting a party so I won't be live-blogging, but good luck on your own pools and enjoy the show.
