Argo will win it - if not, it's a fraud cause it's won everything else so far.

Zero Dark thirty was terrible.

I thought it was ok, but very documentary-type. Not as easy to watch as Argo - didn't make feel as involved either. Either though I knew the real-life ending of Argo, I was tense as hell.....ZD30, it was kinda like a history lesson, no real feeling of involvement for me.

I'm sure Seth MacFarlan (sp?) was their first choice for host......

They follow a pattern to determine the host...

Year 1: Billy Crystal
Year 2: Some comedian they think is funny
Year 3: Billy Crystal
Year 4: A woman
Year 5: Billy Crystal
Year 6: Someone who's career was in the toilet but is now on the rebound

Repeat.

The lead was terrible in it imo, and I was sitting by a military buff who was poking holes in it.
