Sheri Young 49 I Need My Fix Prediction Argo Lincoln N/A

While Argo and Lincoln both have strong influence,

Argo’s higher sentiment score may contribute to its win

“So Argo’s win on Saturday night is the strongest

indicator yet that the rescue thriller is the

frontrunner in the most fiercely competitive

Academy Awards race in recent memory.”

“People disengaged from Zero Dark Thirty and

embraced Argo.”

“Argo may have had a good night at the Globes

by winning Best Picture (Drama) and Best Director,

but I still think Lincoln is the picture to beat when it

comes to the Academy Awards, especially since

Ben Affleck was snubbed for the Best Director

Oscar nomination.”

“After today’s British Academy Awards show which

just wrapped in London, people would be wise to

put some pounds on Argo’s Best Picture

Oscar chances.”

“When Jackson announced that Ben Affleck’s Argo

had won, it continued the movie’s seemingly

unstoppable march toward Oscar glory on Feb. 24.”
