 It's time once again for the Oscars…Sunday night is the 85th annual Academy Awards, and here are my predictions for who is going to win…

The nominees for Best Actress are: Jessica Chastain for Zero Dark Thirty, Jennifer Lawrence for Silver Linings Playbook, Emanuelle Riva for Amour, Quvenzhane Wallis for Beasts of the Southern Wild, and Naomi Watts for The Impossible.

While Naomi Watts was excellent in The Impossible, this race comes down to three, Jessica Chastain, Jennifer Lawrence and Emanuelle Riva.
Jessica Chastain was an early frontrunner, and my favorite of the bunch is Emanuelle Riva. Either of them could easily win, but I think this year the Oscar will go to Jennifer Lawrence.

Watch the Oscars right here on Channel Six, Sunday night starting at 6:30, with coverage beginning at 5:00.

Back to you…
