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.
