2013 Oscar Winner Predictions

This year's Oscar nominations were very surprising, especially in the Best Director field. My predictions as to who would get nominated were pretty good, but there were a couple of nominations that I should have gone with my gut instead of what other people were saying (Jacki Weaver in Silver Linings Playbook, Argo for Best Score, etc.). Now here are my Oscar 2013 predictions on who will win come Oscar Night (with a complete list of the nominees).
