Interesting upset picks, but I'm sticking with the safe bets for now in ARGO and Spielberg. But since the Academy hates Spielberg, maybe David O. Russell or Ang Lee could swoop in and steal it. Would be a shame if De Niro won, simply for rewarding a zombie for rising from the dead for a few decent scenes. TLJ deserves it, and I think he'll win. WE SHALL SEE.
