Film historian James Colt Harrison, Mad Movie Man A.J. Hakari and entertainment journalist Diana Saenger drop by Movie Addict HQ on February 19th to share their predictions about the upcoming Oscar winners. Will these noted critics agree on the winning actors and films at the 85th Annual Academy Awards Ceremony scheduled for Sunday, February 24th? Listen in and find out!

James has served as premier film critic for the La Jolla Village News and is the author of a history of MGM and Twentieth Century Fox. Diana is founder/editor of Classic Movie Guide as well as the entertainment editor for San Diego’s East County Gazette. A.J. has contributed movie reviews for numerous sites including Classic Movie Guide, ReelTalk Movie Reviews, and Terror Tube. He recently created a popular new blog called Cinesplice. Because of their film expertise and insightful opinions, all three critics are favorite guests on Movie Addict HQ. It should be another fun show for movie fans.

As expected, Lincoln emerged as the leader in this year’s field with a total of 12 nominations in important categories like Best Picture, Best Director (Steven Spielberg), Best Actor (Daniel Day-Lewis), Best Supporting Actor and Actress (Tommy Lee Jones, Sally Field). Les Misérables and Silver Linings Playbook each received 8 nominations, so they can’t be counted out. And neither can Argo, which recently picked up the British Best Picture Award. 

Here are the 9 films nominated for Best Picture of 2012:

AMOUR

ARGO

BEASTS OF THE SOUNTHERN WILD

DJANGO UNCHAINED

LES MISÉRABLES

LIFE OF PI

LINCOLN

SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK

ZERO DARK THIRTY
