Hyde Park on Hudson. One thing’s for sure, “Happy days” are definitely not “here again.”

Killing Them Softly. Instead of saying, “he sleeps with the fishes,” it might be better to say, “he sleeps with the audience,” which is how you’d describe someone who’d been bored to death. Killings don’t get any softer.

Silver Linings Playbook. You’d have to be crazy to pick this film about a couple of antisocial, neurotic oddballs to be nominated for best picture, actor, and director. Maybe that explains how Da Man did it.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Here’s a film that features a great cast in a charming story that was a surprise hit at the box office. But are the Misfits ready to check-in or are they going to pack their bags and move on?

Oscar Nominations. You heard it here first–the Misfits predict Daniel Day-Lewis will walk away with the best actor Oscar. Not only that, but we’re also pretty sure the sun will come up in the morning.

You were closer on your guesses than I was on mine. Just as disappointed as you that The Sessions didn’t make the cut. Even more disppointed that Hawkes wasn’t nominated for best actor. Moonrise Kingdom I also found to be a considerable snub. Seems like nearly every category is going to be won by a previous winner, so I guess no sentimental favorites this year.
