Oscars 2014 Nominations: Most Likely Winners In All 24 Categories
Best Supporting Actress - June Squibb (Nebraska)
Nominees: June Squibb (Nebraska), Sally Hawkins (Blue Jasmine), Jennifer Lawrence (American Hustle), Lupita Nyong'o (12 Years a Slave), Julia Roberts (August: Osage County) All of the acting categories are pretty tight this year, but June Squibb might just take home the Best Supporting Actress nomination for her reservedly hilarious role in Alexander Payne's Nebraska. I like Jennifer Lawrence, and a second Oscar for her wouldn't be the worst thing ever, but Squibb deserves it more. Second Most Likely Winner: Jennifer Lawrence (American Hustle)
Best Film Editing - American Hustle
Nominees: American Hustle, Captain Phillips, Dallas Buyers Club Always a tough category to call, this year is possibly the tightest ever. Any of the three films nominated could win the Oscar, but American Hustle seems like the smoothest, most logical choice. We'll see! Second Most Likely Winner: Dallas Buyers Club
Best Original Score - Gravity (Steven Price)
Nominees: Gravity, The Book Thief, Her, Philomena, Saving Mr. Banks This one likely comes down to Gravity vs. Her. John Williams has won a bajillion Oscars, but his score for The Book Thief was as phoned-in as the rest of the movie. For sheer tension and deep moments of reflection, Steven Price's score for Gravity is the one to beat. Second Most Likely Winner: Her
Best Original Song - "Ordinary Love" (Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom)
Nominees: "Alone Yet Not Alone" from Alone Yet Not Alone, "Happy" from Despicable Me 2, "Let It Go" from Frozen, "The Moon Song" from Her, "Ordinary Love" from Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom I'm still sore that Inside Llewyn Davis didn't get any music nominations. Sure, most of the songs were covers, but the original ones were the ones that stuck with you. Anyway, U2 will probably take this one home for "Ordinary Love", a track from Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. "The Moon Song" from Her or "Let It Go" from Frozen could be the upsetters. Second Most Likely Winner: "The Moon Song" from Her
