Oscar Time

1. Life of Pi - Cinematography: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZEZ35Fhvuc
I think this is the best cinematography skills for 2013 movies because they make the visuals so realistic to the point where you feel you are with the characters in the movie. There's also a diverse range of colors and the pixels are very clear and enjoyable to look at.

2. Twilight - Film Editing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2T7d8j6I5I
I really liked the editing of this film especially because there was truly a special bond between the music, sound effects, and the visuals. They really suited for each other and brought the right message of the movie from the first time I watched the trailer. The theme of the movie was also portrayed through the editing of the fiction characters such as Edward, the vampire, emphasizing his unusual eyes.

3. The Hangover 1 - Film Directing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhFVZsk3XEs
I really liked the film directing of this movie because the director was still able to portray the message/theme of the movie although it was full of comedy and irony. He was able to confuse the audience but was also able to go back to the main idea of the story and make the plot make sense.

4. Transformers 1 - Visual Effects: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAjgXlvVexI
I think this movie would win the best visual effects because although the movie is based mainly on fictional characters, the visuals look very realistically formed due to clear pixels and scary shots that would make the movie more scary and makes you feel like you're actually on the spot.

5. Les Miserables - Production Design: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkHHHUk8RCw
I liked the production design of this movie because they added the musical scenes to every scene which boosted up my interest in the movie. It caught my attention mainly through the blending of the visuals and the musicals.

6. Skyfall - Sound Mixing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kw1UVovByw
Skyfall had the best sound mixing in my opinion because they truly fitted with the movie's theme and purpose. Also, the song's compositions was really interesting and uniquely done personally for the movie. They customized the music for the movie itself and I really liked the idea of that.

7. Up - Sound Editing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkqzFUhGPJg
I liked the sound editing of Up because of its childish music/audio in which was suitable for all ages. It was very peaceful and playful. It really caught my ears' attentions.
