Make YOUR Oscar 2014 predictions in these six top categories with votes! Take your best shot!

With so many good films up as contenders in this category, it'll be a tough choice to predict a clear winner.

However, film bloggers and fans have been known to gravitate towards one or two films from the list.

Which film do YOU think will win the Best Picture Oscar? VOTE!

 

Best Director

February 27, 2014 15:01 IST
David O Russell, Alfonso Cuaron, Alexander Payne, Steve McQueen and Martin Scorsese

While the Golden Globe in this category went to Alfonso Cuaron for his stunning Gravity, the filmmaker still has to fight off tough competition to claim the coveted Oscar too.

Many believe that Steve McQueen, whose film won the top honours at the BAFTAs, Cuaron and Martin Scorsese are the strongest contenders in this category.

Best Actor

February 27, 2014 15:01 IST
Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf Of Wall Street, Bruce Dern in Nebraska, Chiwetel Ejiofor in 12 Years A Slave, Matthew Mcconaughey in Dallas Buyers' Club and Christian Bale in American Hustle

While DiCaprio clocked in a win at the Globes and Chiwetel Ejiofor won in the same category at the BAFTAs, Oscar predictions are still running wild on this one.

Best Actress

Cate Blanchett, Amy Adams, Judi Dench, Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock

This one happens to be, by far, the only category that everybody unanimously agrees on when it comes to the prospective winner.

Blue Jasmine actress Cate Blanchett has won at the BAFTAs, Golden Globes as well as at the Screen Actors; Guild awards and unless the Academy jury is hell bent on shocking us, or the controversy dominates the decision-making, she'll win this one too.

Best Supporting Actor

February 27, 2014 15:01 IST
Barkhad Abdi, Bradley Cooper, Michael Fassbender, Jonah Hill and Jared Leto

The Best Supporting Actor category has also been dominated by Jared Leto, who was practically unrecognisable as a transgender HIV victim in Dallas Buyers' Club. But many feel Bradley Cooper or Barkhad Abdi could also snag the honour.
