Top Ten Films and Oscar Predictions

Top 10:

1)  Inside Llewyn Davis:   

2) The Hunt:  A drama that plays out like a true to life horror film where the only monster is the fragile nature of mankind.  Never have I seen a film that so soundly illustrates just how flimsy the walls of civilized society are. Where rumor is fact and people see and hear only what they choose to.

3) The Spectacular Now

4) The Wolf of Wall Street

5) Gravity

6) Frances Ha

7) Hunger Games: Catching Fire

8) American Hustle

9) The Place Beyond the Pines

10) Stories We Tell
