That's right you guys, we're still no closer to knowing who is going to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards yet, which is strange because at this point we usually have the winner locked up.
Before tonight, we had 3 front runners: American Hustle, Gravity and 12 Years A Slave. The real fight seemed to be between 12 Years A Slave and American Hustle, both of whom have been winning Best Picture honors from the Globes and Broadcast Film Critics. But last night, Hustle edged out a win with SAG for Best Ensemble.
Poised to win again tonight, it tripped at the final lap, with not only 12 Years A Slave edging in a victory, but Gravity! The two tied for the Best Picture honor.
Now, unlike SAG Ensemble which has been known to miss with Oscar (The Help, Inglorious Basterds, etc), the PGA winner always goes on to win the Best Picture Academy Award.. so what does it mean that we 2 winners?
It will come down to the final Guild announcement: the DGA (Directors Guild). They announce their winner next week (Alfonso Cuaron of Gravity and Steve McQueen will both go toe to toe, with Hustle's O. Russell nominated as well).
Until then, a race that was becoming boring, managed to get exciting again. Hustle is out, and Gravity is in. Ballots go in on the 25th: This win could have an affect on the winner of the DGA.
