Argo is a good flick that anyone would enjoy, but I don't rate it as highly as the other two.
Les Mis is well behind those three.
Those are the only ones nominated that I have watched.

For me, I liked Silver Linings Playbook as Best Picture, although I absolutely adore Lincoln.

I've only seen Django and Lincoln, but I think Lincoln would be a deserving winner. It was long and about a constitutional amendment- but I was enthralled the entire time.
Kicking myself for not seeing Les Mis in theaters, it's just about the only musical I really like, and don't feel like the small screen will do it the same justice.

But Lincoln is my winner. Silver Linings Playbook was good, but not award worthy, IMO.

Will win: Argo
Should win: Django Unchained
I really liked Django, but it was no Inglorius Basterds. Pacing was just too slow for me, and I'm willing to indulge Tarantino.

I agree IB is better but I still loved Django. The Master, Looper, Moonrise Kingdom, Zero Dark Thirty, Life of Pi, and Silver Linings were some of my other favorites for 2012. Haven't seen Argo or Lincoln.

My wife saw Amour and said it was probably the best movie of the nominees. But that's like, just her opinion, man.
Really wanna see it. Sounds depressing but very well made. I think it's cool a foreign movie isn't just being relegated to Best Foreign Feature.
Beasts of the Southern Wild is overrated IMO. It's just ok for me. If I wouldn't have heard the buzz about it I never would've thought it was worthy of a nomination.

Agreed. I thought the musical score was the best thing about the movie and it wasn't even nominated.
Yeah exactly. The one scene I thought was great was 'the stare down'. And her performance was very good. But it didn't really do anything for me.

The movie was like a poem. At times a line of dialog or a scene really got me, but the rest was just words on a page. The scene where she may have met her mother was awesome though. The lines where she mentioned the number of times she'd been carried was beautiful.
Very well said.

Seth MacFarland is great.
His Rhianna/Chris Brown joke was great, and so was his dig at Mel Gibson.
