Movie Parliament's 2013 Oscar Contest

This sunday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will once again give out some golden statues over the space of a few hours. As in previous years, Movie Parliament will run a contest to see which reader can correctly predict, who will be receiving these golden statues. This year has been the most unpredictable Oscar race for quite some time and many of the key categories are still up in the air. While I know that all of you have predictions for all 24 categories (Especially for the categories of sound editing and sound mixing...both of which are actually pretty hard to predict this year, for those like me who are actually predicting all twenty-four) this contest will focus on the categories of: Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actor, Original Screenplay and Adapted Screenplay. You can find the nominees here and submit your predictions via the Your Say section here. And while you're at it, if you want to see some proper movie awards, check out the Movie Parliament Awards whose winners for this year were announced today by clicking here, those were the biggest movie awards of this weekend. Oh, and in regards to what the winner will receive...quite simply, honour.
