Steve McQueen has solidified his reputation as a daring, innovative filmmaker with his first two directorial efforts, 2008’s Hunger and 2011’s Shame, and with his most recent film, 12 Years a Slave, which had its world premiere at TIFF last Friday (September 6) it is a firm favorite to take the major honors at the Academy Awards in six months’ time. Based upon the autobiography of Solomon Northup, the film follows his journey as a free man who is drugged, kidnapped and sold into slavery in 1841. Starring Chiwetel Ejiofor as Solomon Northup, and supported by a talented cast including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Benedict Cumberbatch and Paul Giamatti, the drama was met with adulation, overwhelming emotion and a standing ovation. Already dubbed a certainty for Best Picture, the film has also sparked conversation for acting awards, including Best Actor for Ejiofor, Best Supporting Actor for Fassbender, and Best Supporting Actress for Lupita Nyong'o, as well as awards for technical achievement. ~Raj-Kabir Birk

Firm favorite six months ahead of the Oscars!!! OK so anyone else that think they might have an Oscar contender coming out from now until then, you can forget about it I guess.
The most awaited competition that haven't been seen yet are American Hustle, Mr Banks, Wolf Of Wall street. None of them have the weighty themes that 12 Years a Slave has. None of them.
But everything can happen. It can be all Saving Private Ryan vs Shakespeare In Love 2.0.
