Argo
Wahlberg told The Huffington Post: "I think there's a 110% chance Daniel Day-Lewis will win. I think Argo will definitely win 'Best Picture'.
"I think Ben Affleck not being nominated for 'Best Director' has now turned into a blessing because everyone's outraged by the fact he wasn't nominated, so now he's going to win everything, and I think it's a great movie too."
Wahlberg added: "Personally, I love Life of Pi. Maybe it was because I spent four months working opposite an imaginary teddy bear, and Suraj Sharma had to do the same thing with this tiger, I just thought his performance was spectacular.
"And it was his first time out. I thought, 'Wow'. It took me 30 movies to be confident enough to pull that off."

Life of Pi
Wahlberg caused controversy last year when he claimed that he knew the winning results, as he had a friend at PriceWaterhouse - the company that count the ballots.
Despite this, Wahlberg did get some of his predictions wrong, including 'Best Actress' which went to Meryl Streep.

Zero Dark Thirty
The movie in a nutshell: Kathryn Bigelow chronicles the CIA's decade-long search for Osama bin Laden, led by obsessively driven agent Maya (Jessica Chastain).
The controversy in a nutshell: Some commentators have claimed that Bigelow's spectacularly smart, uneasy thriller endorses torture, by implying that its use uncovered vital information, while CIA director Michael Morell slammed the "significant artistic license" taken with the facts. The pro-torture claims have been vigorously denied by Bigelow, screenwriter Mark Boal and the film's stars, not to mention several critics who took a more ambiguous message from the film's depiction.
