If you were an Academy member, for whom would you vote?

(I’ll be doing a couple every few days until the ceremony 2/24)

A two-film race, it seems, though I’m betting neither of our frontrunners takes home the statue in 2 weeks.

Yeah, I’m leaning decidedly toward **Amour** winning, with **Django** a distant possibility for an upset.

I doubt _Django_ will win, but it gets my vote. You must admit Tarantino has an original voice and vision about things.

I think _Amour_ will win, but I would have voted for _Moonrise Kingdom_.

I forgot to say previously that I voted for **Moonrise Kingdom**. A lovely piece of work.
