Countdown to Oscar Night: Best Production Design

Photobucket

Nominees:
Anna Karenina
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Les Miserables
Life of Pi
Lincoln

This is always a pretty tough race to call.  Do the voters go for the prettiest film, the one with the best props, the one that is most historically accurate, the one with the most color, etc., etc.?  The VERY different design and source of the films included don't make it any easier.  I could easily make a case for any of these films winning.  Still, I think the Academy will want to honor Les Miserables somewhere, and the non-special effect visual categories may be that place.  This also marks the first category that I'm breaking down where I haven't seen all of the films.  I just don't think I'll get around to seeing Anna Karenina by the big night...  :(

My Ballot:
Lincoln
Les Miserables
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Life of Pi

My Pick to Win:
Les Miserables

Shoulda Been Here:
Cloud Atlas
