Best Picture Frontrunner: Argo

Not only a crackerjack thriller, but also improbably true — mostly! Read Owen Gleiberman's review.
Credit: Warner Bros.

Ben Affleck's thriller about CIA agents teaming with filmmakers to create a? fake movie production to help embassy workers escape the Iran hostage crisis? is an industry favorite. Hollywood loves seeing itself save the day, and even more so when it's a true story.

Early viewers regard Steven Spielberg's historical epic as a master class in acting, writing, directing, and practically every other cinematic skill. Daniel Day-Lewis is virtually assured a third Oscar for Best Actor, and his talents may help the film claim the top prize as well.

Best Picture Frontrunner: Life of Pi

Star: Suraj Sharma Adapted by director Ang Lee from Yann Martel's 2001 novel, this is the story of a teenaged boy nicknamed Pi, the sole…
Credit: Fox

This saga of a boy lost at sea could be the first 3-D film to win Best Picture. In director Ang Lee's hands, the format adds emotional heft, since the proximity of the live-action boy to CG things — the tiger in his lifeboat, the ship that passes them by — is key to the tale.

David O. Russell's frenzied romantic dramedy about a bipolar patient trying to find love and happiness won the People's Choice Award at this fall's Toronto Film Festival. It's more intimate and personal than some of its rivals, which could give it an underdog boost.

He's the closest thing to a sure bet in this Oscar race. Academy members have described his performance as ''uncanny'' and ''more Lincoln than Lincoln.''
