I think the Oscars this year will be a mixed bag, no one film taking every award. But on the other hand I do think that Argo is going to be a frontrunner if previous award shows are anything to go by.
So let me know if you think I'm right with my predictions or miles off the target! And enjoy the Oscars spectacle!
