And the winners are....

Academy Awards 2013 results (including random ramblings and/or rants):

Best Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz. Really anyone here could have won, and I'd have been happy with anyone. Maybe I wanted Deniro to win a little more. But I adore Christoph. And it's nice to know he can win with a nice character too.

Best Animated Short Film: Paperman.

Best Animated Feature Film: Brave. I'm sorry, I liked this movie, but Wreck-It Ralph should have won. It's because Pixar made it.

Best Cinematography: Life of Pi. No surprise there. Very beautiful movie.

Best Visual Effects: Life of Pi. Again, no surprises here. Much deserved award.

Best Costume Design: Anna Karenina - Jacqueline Durran.

Best Makeup and Hairstyling: Les Miserables. I kind of wanted the Hobbit feet to win, but I guess this works too.

Best Live Action Short Film: Curfew - Shawn Christensen.

Best Documentary Short Subject: Inocente. 

Best Documentary Feature: Searching for Sugar Man. I feel like I should really start watching the movies nominated in this category.

Best Foreign Language Film: Amour. No surprise there, as it was the only one in the category to be nominated for Best Picture. And this is well deserved. Such a beautiful, touching movie.

Best Sound Mixing: Les Miserables. Can't tell you what this award means, but having the musical win makes sense to me.

Best Sound Editing: TIE: Zero Dark Thirty and Skyfall. I have never seen a tie during the Oscars before.

Best Supporting Actress: Anne Hathaway. No question.

Best Film Editing: Argo. Definitely an awesomely edited movie. Also glad Argo is starting to win some awards up in here.

Best Production Design: Lincoln.

Best Original Score: Life of Pi. Makes sense. No complaints here at all. Very, very beautiful.

Best Original Song: Skyfall. There was no way that Adele was not going to win this. Perfect song from the movie. And it's Adele. Freaking Adele. She is perfection. No contest.


Best Adapted Screenplay: Argo. The Argo screenplay truly is something wonderful. Congratulation, very well deserved. I would've rooted for Silver Linings Playbook, but the screenplay is so different from the book.

Best Original Screenplay: Django Unchained. This actually surprised me. Don't know why, just did. But Tarantino really did make something original and unique. Though Zero Dark Thirty probably deserved to win just a little bit more. Just saying.

Best Director: Ang Lee for Life of Pi. I guess he did a good job. It could not have been an easy book to make into a movie. I'm just biased towards David O. Russell.

Best Actress: Jennifer Lawrence! YES YES YES. So deserved! She was amazing in this movie. So much emotional depth. And I just adore her so much.


Best Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis. There is not another actor who deserves it more or who could play Lincoln better. Bravo sir. And so humble. Just a wonderful actor.

Best Picture: Argo! Ben Affleck created such a wonderful film. You know a film is good when you get nervous watching a movie you know will end relatively happily. I love this movie, and I am so glad that it is the recognition it deserves.
