Nominations: David O Russell "American Hustle" Alfonso Cuaron "Gravity" Alexander Payne "Nebraska" Steve McQueen "12 Years a Slave" Martin Scorsese "The Wolf of Wall Street" Our Prediction: While we don't think "The Wolf of Wall Street" can pull an Oscar for Best Picture, we do think Martin Scorsese will knock this category out of the park. At age 71, Scorsese painted the perfect picture of Jordan Belfort's life of booze, drugs and sexual escapades as if he had lived them himself. Marty took on this chaotic story and turned it into one of the most over the top quaalude-enduced films we've seen to date. Bravo, bravo! The Wolf Of Wall Street [Photo via]
