Who Are You Rooting For? Our 2013 Oscars Predictions
Oscar Grid
Is it too early to deliver Oscar picks given that the nominations haven’t even come out and the Golden Globes aren’t for a month? Well, sure, if you want to be all sensible about it. But that’s just no fun.

Throwing caution (and a good deal of logic) to the wind, we’ve decided that now is the time to make our final Oscar picks and come up with the odds-on-favorites and critical choices that will take home those little, gold men. Of course, the Oscars are nothing without dark horses, so please take to the comments if you're a die-hard fan of any flicks we've overlooked.

In the interest of organization, we've sectioned off each movie by the classic Oscar stereotype: the critical darling, the shoo-in, the dark horse, the wild card, and the legacy nomination. Read on to see which flick is which.
