Oscars Predictions: Charts track experts' changing forecasts

Two months ago, most of our Experts were betting on "Les Miserable" to win Best Picture while "Silver Linings Playbook" and "Argo" were jockeying for second place. Now "Lincoln" has pulled ahead while the surging "Zero Dark Dirty" is battling ""Argo" for the place position."Les Miz" is right behind while "Silver Linings" has fallen to fifth.

Since the start of Oscar season, our Experts have been predicting Daniel Day-Lewis will win his third Best Actor award for his performance in "Lincoln." Joaquin Phoenix ("The Master") has been in second place, though his support slipped after his dismissive comments about the Oscars.

For the first time in Academy Awards history, all five nominees in an acting category are already Oscar champs. Since the start of the season, our Experts have been predicting SAG winner Tommy Lee Jones ("Lincoln") to get a matching bookend to his 1993 award for "The Fugitive." However, there is growing sentiment for Robert DeNiro ("Silver Linings Playbook") who won this award in 1974 for "The Godfather, Part II." He also won Best Actor in 1980 for "Raging Bull" and has not contended here since 1991 ("Cape Fear"). Coming on strong is Globes and BAFTA champ Christoph Waltz ("Django Unchained") who took home this prize just three years ago for "Inglorious Basterds."
