Best Picture Nominee #4

Gravity


Alfonso Cuarón’s space spectacle has proved a mammoth success all-round; critics adored it and audiences lapped it up, immersing themselves into the rollercoaster ride of a film in their millions. Stripping the bravado away, a question is raised as to whether Gravity floats as well, but regardless the film remains one side of this year’s fight. Tying as the ceremony’s lead nominee, the good money would be put on Gravity to be the evening’s biggest winner – however, a best picture win will be one too many. Cuarón looks set to pull an Ang Lee (Life of Pi) and scoop Best Director for the sheer mind-boggling scope of what is unarguably the most visually impressive film in quite some time.

Film: 4.5/5
Chances of winning: 4/5


What will it win? Well, where do we start? Best Director, a Cinematography win for Emmanuel Lubezki, Film Editing, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing and Visual Effects. A win for Steven Price in the Original Score category solidifies this as Gravity's evening, despite 12 Years a Slave scooping the main prize.
