We won't know for sure until the big day, but with Oscars voting ending in mere hours, betting gurus are picking their faves!

So who should you be backing in your office Oscar pool?

Best Picture seems like a lock for Argo, which has already taken just about every award possible!

For Best Actress, it looks like we'll get yet another misunderstood movie quote from the lovely Jennifer Lawrence!

You may want to bet a penny - or better yet a fiver - on Daniel Day-Lewis to win Best Actor for Lincoln!

Anne Hathaway's breathtaking - and hair-cropping - performance in Les Misérables is just about guaranteed gold at this point!

It looks like Ben Affleck's snub is Steven Spielberg's gain — he's the favorite for Best Director.

And once again, Quentin Tarantino is the frontrunner for Best Original Screenplay for his sleeper hit Django Unchained!

But, of course, as any oddsmaker will tell you, anything can happen on any given Sunday!

Except Any Given Sunday can't win anything. It's not nominated and is like, ten years old.

Quentin Tarantino was spotted out and about in Hollywood yesterday.

When it comes to the celebrity fitness club, Tarantino isn't a regular like Russell Brand, Miley Cyrus or Kim Kardashian.

So it's extra great to see Tarantino out for a jog!

It was overcast and a little chilly (damn El Lay winter) but that didn't stop Quentin!

He knows that his creative brain is his money maker, and your brain can't run at its peak if your body is falling apart.

So he got his workout on!

Health, happiness and violent screenplays are just some of the things jogging could bring your way.

Especially if you're Quentin Tarantino! LOLz!

Way to get out there and pound the pavement!

Django may be Unchained, but he definitely isn't uncensored!

When we heard the dolls — yes, dolls! Let's face it, "action figures" have kung fu grip; these toys come with outfits — based on the hit Quentin Tarantino film were being discontinued, we were bummed.

But the one silver lining we saw in this playbook was that people clever enough to have snagged them early were going to make a mint on eBay!

Well, it turns out we were wrong, because the controversy has proved too much for eBay, who banned the figures.

eBay, where you can purchase dead animals, Glenn Beck's urine, and yes- even a woman's virginity. But these toys were too much?

OK, we're sorry, but the whole point is that he's a hero! That's who toys get made of! He's a hero that goes from being a slave to leading a revolution! He's an American Spartacus!

You know who else was a slave? Darth Vader! Try banning all the toys made of him!

We are just plain tired of having to defend a movie about a character who fights slavery! It's insane!

This generation's most pressing mystery is finally solved!

Nope, we haven't figured out why Adam Lambert and Cyndi Lauper would make music together, but we did learn how two of Quentin Tarantino's most popular movies are secretly intertwined!

A few weeks ago, QT revealed a hidden connection between Pulp Fiction and Django Unchained. Unfortunately, the link was so subtle that the director himself forgot what it was, LOLz!!

Thankfully, the tireless minions of the internet love a good challenge!

One redditor discovered that

We told you about the controversy behind the Django Unchained Action Figures.

Rev. Al Sharpton's Nation Action Network and others condemned the dolls as racially insensitive due to their portrayal of slaves.

Despite the facts that the collectibles had cloth clothing, almost no articulation, and were retailing for the price of an XBox, Sharpton said the figures were directed at children.

Well, it seems the Weinstein Company is tired of the controversy over the Quentin Tarantino flick; they have ordered the line discontinued.

So if you wanted to relive the exciting scene where Jamie Foxx and Christophe Waltz stay in their boxes on a shelf and appreciate in value, you're out of luck.

Of course, there are still a few left out there if you have to have one- last seen nearing the $1000 price range!

Remember Vincent Vega and Mia Wallace dancing to Chuck Berry's You Never Can Tell after drinking "overpriced" $5 milkshakes in Pulp Fiction?!

So does BBC Amerca TV host Graham Norton!

Graham has a knack for lowering the inhibitions of American celebrities and convincing them to partake in wacky shenanigans — Quentin Tarantino is no exception!

Ch-ch-check out the dancing director showing off the moves he created for Uma Thurman and John Travolta back in 1994 (above)!

Can you believe QT had brass ballz big enough to give the star of Saturday Night Fever a lesson in shaking his groove thang?!

We love it!! We just wish milkshakes were still so cheap, LOLz!!

As the winner for Best Original Screenplay at the Golden Globes, Quentin Tarantino knows a thing or two about word choice.

Or does he?

Backstage after his win, reporters once again asked the filmmaker about the controversy surrounding Django's use of the epithet. Quentin responded:
