Oscars 2013 Date, Nominations & Predictions: Best Picture, Director, Actress and More [PHOTOS]
The 85th annual Academy Awards airs live on Feb. 24 at 7 p.m. ET and with the nominees already announced, many reports have predictions for the night's biggest winners in the area of acting, cinematography, directing and more.
In the category of Best Picture and based on data such as box office gross, audience ratings and critical ratings, The Huffington Post predicted that the Ben Affleck-directed film Argo will take home the honor with a 94 percent chance. Fellow nominees include Lincoln, Silver Lining Playbook , Life of Pie, Les Miserables, Zero Dark Thirty, Django Unchained, Beasts of the Southern Wild and Amour.
Argo grossed in the box office -- with data compilation based on how much a movie earned in theaters in the U.S. week-by-week since it opened -- $127 million. Out of all the nominees in the category Lincoln grossed the most - $177 million - and is up for the most Oscar nominations, but fell in terms of audience ratings, which the Post concluded after measuring Rotten Tomatoes user reviews.
