As widely reported, the year 2013 saw some of the best films, which means it is going to be a tough decision for the jury. For the Best Picture, "12 Years a Slave" is the favorite. "Gravity" might give it some tough competition but in the end, "12 Years a Slave" has a strong chance of winning Best Picture, especially considering how it sweeped the Golden Globe and BAFTA.

Dicaprio revealed that he had spent weeks trying to persuade one of his idols to take the role of a vicious thug. Dicaprio further added that he slightly disagreed with him at first, but eventually said yes. Feb 24, 2014
