Oscar 2013

So the 85th Academy Awards will be held  in about 4 days. Honestly, it's not important whether or not my favorite movies can win the Oscar. If I like it, I don't give a damn about what other people say. But if I was one of the voting member of The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), here are the list of my choices (nominees that I vote is in bold):

BEST PICTURE

• Amour
• Argo
• Beasts of the Southern Wild
• Django Unchained

Many people said that Argo and Lincoln is great but because I didn't watch it, I choose Django Unchained.
