And so we get to the big one, for now.
As a reminder, these would be my votes (who, given the universe of the nominees, I believe should win), not who I think will win. (That post will come later.) I’m not giving my vote unless I’ve seen all nominees in a given category, and I’ll update this post if I’m able to do that at a later date.
The Best Picture award, unlike the others, is voted in a preferential ballot; therefore, all the nominees are ranked.
Without further ado!

5) Lincoln
6) Amour
7) Beasts of the Southern Wild
8) Life of Pi
Looking back at the list of votes, one can wonder “how can you think Argo is a worthy Best Picture if you don’t think it deserves any other awards? Or, for that matter, if Lincoln got both Best Writing and Best Director?”
There’s no proper or particularly convincing way to answer those questions. For one, I think that the sum of the parts can be either larger or smaller than the total. For another, even thought they are all to some extent a combination of rational and emotional reaction, to me the choices of Best Writing and Best Directing are less subjective than that of Best Picture. In other words, as I said before, while I can (and certainly do, a lot) appreciate Lincoln, I definitely love it less than I love Argo.
Parabe´ns tomara que de mais a sua !!!!!!! Boa sorte bjs mãe.
