Individual Response by Timothy Ingle 2/26/14:

I think American Hustle will win the best picture award. When my family is watching television, I have over-heard many documentaries already televised about American Hustle. I haven't seen it myself, but I've heard that it is a must-watch film.

I think gravity should win overall it was phenomenal. I think Leo is hot so he will win no matter what. I haven't seen frozen but i think that it will win because it is sooo popular, however, i did think Despicable Me 2 was really good!

I haven seen any of them but Gravity and Frozen due to expenses. So i cant really speak for others besides these.  

Frozen: obvious choice will win

Gravity: i couldn't stand it. The physics didn't make any sense at all and just thought it was a waste of money honestly.
