Best Picture Nominee #5

Her


The cult following behind Spike Jonze’s Her carves this out as the underdog of the year. A futuristic tale, the film follows Joaquin Phoenix's Theodore, a man who enters a relationship with an Operating System (seductively voiced by Scarlett Johansson), a machine designed to keep people company and meet their every need. It’s unfortunate to have to discount a film so easily - however a win is near impossible. Success for Jonez’s original screenplay has the potential to prove one of the more popular wins of the night.


Film: 3.5/5
Chances of winning: 2/5


What will it win? Though American Hustle is its closest competitor, it seems Original Screenplay is Spike Jonze's to lose.
