After bagging the best actor award at the BAFTAs, Golden Globe and Screen Guild Awards, Daniel Day-Lewis seems the most promising actor to take away the golden lady this time. With his brilliant portrayal of President Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg's film 'Lincoln', the actor yet again sweeps you off your feet with his great acting skills. 'Lincoln' brings forth the story of Honest Abe's juggling act of slavery abolition and end of civil war. And, the method actor Daniel Day Lewis breathes life into the character and it is very difficult that you will not get overwhelmed by his performance in the film. Hugh Jackman did not just lose a few pounds to shoot the opening scenes of his Oscar nominated film 'Les Miserables', but the actor later even had to put on weight for the rest of the musical. Considering it a total challenge, the actor had to not learn his lines but had to actually strike the right note for the musical by straining his vocal chords.

Of the nine films nominated in the Best Picture category, here is why you should watch some and give the others a pass. A favourite this awards season, Ben Affleck's 'Argo' is just the kind of movie that is needed in this day and age. Based on a true incident when six Americans were miraculously rescued by CIA from Iran during the peak of Iran hostage crisis, 'Argo' gives an amazing glimpse of a society that can work towards if everyone is willing to give it a shot. David O'Rusell's 'Silver Lining Playbook' seems like an unlikely choice in the Best Film nomination list. While other nominees are primarily drama, 'Silver Lining Playbook' is romantic-comedy. Many of the critics have panned the film and called it too superficial and frothy. Will it get an Oscar nod or not is something we will have to wait and watch but its lead actors- Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper are being considered as strong contenders to clinch the trophy of Best Actress and Best Actor category respectively.Katheryn Bigelow's 'Zero Dark Thrity' is based on how American troupes raided Osama Bin Laden's hideout in Pakistan and eventually killed the world's most dreaded terrorist. The war docu-drama is a very detailed film- something which is needed when one is making a film based on real life incident. The film is seen through the eyes of Maya (Jessica Chastain), a female CIA officer handling the case. It also gives out a powerful message of how a woman calls the shots in world full of men.

While many gadgets surprised us this year with their innovative features and great performance, but a spate of gadgets and services on the other hand proved to be flops in the world of tech. Here is the list of the biggest tech failures of 2012.Sony Smartwatch - It's biggest flaw is that this watch is only for Android users. So, if you don't have an Android phone, it's of no use. The Sony SmartWatch failed to impress us. It may be a gadget to flaunt but according to us it's not of much utility in day to day use. LG Optimus Vu - Its odd shape is the biggest drawback. Its shape is not meant for a smartphone. It's too wide for a phone which makes it comfortable to hold. Any rectangular 5-inch phone is better than what LG came up with - a shape that lies in between square and rectangle.
