![2025 Oscars: Can a Late-Breaker Still Win Best Picture? [POLL]](https://www.awardsdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/gladiator-350x250.jpg)
I submitted my picks today but I haven’t received a confirmation receipt via email. Is this normal? I tried to resubmit my picks (just to make sure that my entry had gone through properly), but couldn’t because my email was already registered with the system.

There’s no directing category, because by predicting BP you also automatically predict Best Director. It’s common knowledge that the Best Picture is also the Best Directed Picture, right? 🙂
I have a sneaky feeling that Bradley Cooper will win Best Actor. I think I’ll be predicting him to make a major upset. I was thinking about also predicting American Sniper to win Editing, but I saw Boyhood for the second time yesterday and I can’t see how Sandra Adair can loose. Sadly it’s not the kind of editing that might attract the eye, but it is certainly a masterpiece when it comes to pacing, conveying emotions and elegantly composing the seamless and natural flow of the movie. It really takes some serious editing skills to do that. It’s the essense of editing art at it’s finest. No suspense or action scenes, no chronology aberrations or flashbacks, no dream squences or parallel action, just storytelling. That’s Editing with a capital “E” in it’s purest, most simple and raw form. They don’t make many of them these days. The only movie on par with Boyhood when it comes to editing this year is the grossly underapreciated Foxcatcher.
I’m waiting until the DGA announcement to make a choice. Alas, in 12 years following this site, I’ve never even come close to predicting anything.
I’m so meh about this award season that right now I’m just gonna go wild / NGNG on my guesses.
Look at Jones Gay-Harden her away with the main award!

Just noted that besides directing, visual effects is also missing.
Honestly, looking at the b.o. right now, it’s beginning to look as an “American Sniper” sweep. i don’t think voters can really avoid to go in that direction, specially after the Charlie Hebdo attack… many members could think, that voting for AS, they’re supporting their troops against the yihaddists.
Which would be the contrary, out of the American bubble.
Director category is missing.
