"Hugo" memimpin nominasi dengan 11 termasuk Best Picture kemudian diikuti oleh "The Artist" dengan 10 nominasi. "Hugo", film arahan Martin Scrosese ini mendapat nominasi untuk 3 dari 5 kategori utama Oscar, yaitu Best Picture, Directing, dan Adapted Screenplay. Sisanya adalah Art Direction, Cinematography, Costume Design, Film Editing, Music (Original Score), Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, dan Visual Effects. Sedang pesaing ketatnya, "The Artist" mendapat nominasi untuk 4 dari 5 kategori utama Oscar, yaitu Best Picture, Directing, Best Actor in a Leading Role dan Original Screenplay. Nominasi yang lain adalah Actress in a Supporting Role, Art Direction, Cinematography, Costume Design, Music (Original Score) dan Film Editing. Film lainnya, diantaranya "Moneyball" dan "War Horse" masing-masing 6 nominasi, sementara "The Descendants" yang pada Golden Globes waktu lalu menguasai dan  "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" measing-masing dengan 6 nominasi. Tahun ini akan terjadi persiangan panas diantara para nominator Best Picture. Paling tidak ada 3 film yang paling berpeluang untuk menjadi yang terbaik tahun 2012 ini, yaitu "The Artist", "The Descesdants" dan "Hugo". Pada Golden Globes beberapa waktu lalu, posisi  "The Artist" dan  "The Descesdants"cukup aman, karena mereka dinimonasikan pada dunia ketegori berbeda dan masing-masing menang sebagai yang terbaik. Tetapi prediksi pemenang mengarah ke film "The Artist" karena pada malam minggu kemarin PGA Awards (Producer Guild Award) menganugrahkan "The Artist" sebagai film terbaik. Melihat dari hasil PGA Awards sebelumnya, seperti “The King's Speech," "The Hurt Locker,” dan “Slumdog Millionaire” yang pada akhirnya mendapat Best Picture prediksi ini cukup membahayakan "The Descesdants". "Hugo" sendiri, walaupun memimpin nominasi, kurang diprediksikan untuk menang Best Picture. Posisi "Hugo" mungkin akan sama seperti posisi "Avatar" tahun 2009 kemarin, dimana walaupun memimpin perolehan nominasi, tetapi hanya menang untuk kategori teknologi-teknologi perfilman. Untuk Best Picture sendiri ada film kejutan yang masuk nominasi, yaitu "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" dimana film ini harus bersaing dengan "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo"dan "The Ides of March" yang pada waktu lalu masuk nominasi Golden Globes untuk film terbaik.

Mereka berdua sama-sama menang untuk best actor di Golden Globes untuk kategori yang berbeda. Sedang untuk kategori Best Actress in a Leading Role, posisi Meryl Streep dari film "The Iron Lady" sepertinya masih cukup tangguh untuk mengalahkan pesaing lainnya seperti Michelle Williams dari "My Week with Marilyn", Glenn Close dari "Albert Nobbs" dan Rooney Mara dari "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". Pada nominasi Directing juga tak kalah panas. Martin Scorsese dari "Hugo" akan bersaing ketat  dengan 2 sutradara film yang sangat berpeluang untuk Best Picture, yaitu Michel Hazanavicius dari "The Artist" dan Alexander Payne dari The Descesdants. Kejutan juga terjadi untuk kategori film animasi terbaik. Film arahan Steven Speilberg  "The Adventures of Tintin" secara mengejutkan tidak masuk nominasi dan digantikan oleh 2 film animasi kecil "A Cat in Paris" dan "Chico and Rita". Padahal di ajang Golden Globes beberapa waktu lalu "The Adventures of Tintin"menang untuk kategori ini. Sebagai prediksi, aku memprediksikan "The Artist" akan menang untuk Best Picture. Manurutku, keunikan film ini hampir sama seperti "The King's Speech" tahun lalu. "The Artist" merupakan film bisu hitam putih yang dianggap sebagai pekerjaan yang sangat bagus, karena ternyata sang sutradara berhasil mengembalikan film era 30an dan 40an tetapi tetap bagus dan tidak membosankan untuk ditonton dizaman modern seperti sekarang.

Untuk aktris utama terbaik, sepertinya posisi Meryl Streep masih terlalu kuat untuk pesaing lainnya. Untuk sutradara, Martin Scorsese sepertinya tetap memiliki peluang yang lebih besar dari nominator lainnya karena pada Golden Globes kemarin, kategori ini jatuh ke tangannya. Siapa para pemenangnya?
