Personally I'd be happy if either Mungiu or Haneke win, but going by the demographic of the Academy voters, I'd say it's going to be a close call between Amour and Intouchables.Bonjour Tristessehttp://www.bonjourtristesse.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-35512106605057712202012-12-22T17:28:05.020-08:002012-12-22T17:28:05.020-08:00I hope you are right, even if I don't think it...I hope you are right, even if I don't think it's a masterpiece, I still want Haneke to win it.Bonjour Tristessehttp://www.bonjourtristesse.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-5628110027257905502012-12-22T12:07:58.934-08:002012-12-22T12:07:58.934-08:00I'm rooting for The Intouchables, even though ...I'm rooting for The Intouchables, even though you don't think its an award winning film.

The more I think about Amour, the more I love it. I can't wait to see it again in the cinema. Haneke is such a brilliant film maker.
