When the Academy Awards announced the winner for Best Picture this year, audiences will either be really surprised or completely annoyed at how predictable the Academy Awards have become. This year pundits have been saying how unpredictable the race has been given how the precursor awards particularly the guilds have not come to a consensus. As a result the race will be dueled out between three films. Previous Best Picture winners have included "Argo," "The Artist," "The King's Speech," "The Hurt Locker," "Slumdog Millionaire," and No Country for Old Men."
"The Lego Movie" looks to be defeated this weekend by the new box office entries.

The Best Actor is one of the wide open races this year. Two actors are first times nominees while the other three have been nominated a number of times. Another interesting fact is that three of the nominees are playing real people and those performances automatically have an advantage because the Academy loves performances based on real people. Previous winners include Daniel Day-Lewis ("Lincoln"), Jean DuJardin ("The Artist"), Colin Firth ("The King's Speech"), Jeff Daniels ("Crazy heart"), and Sean Penn ("Milk").

The Academy Award for Best Editing is generally as one of the most important categories. No film since 1981 has won the Best Picture of the year without a nomination in this category. However in order to win the top prize, a film does not need to win this award. The 2014 race look to be the hardest to predict as it includes five Best Picture nominees and no clear front-runner. Previous winners include "Argo," "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," "The Social Network," "The Hurt Locker," and "Slumdog Millionaire."
