Oscar Predictions:
Alright readers, the time has come: the Oscars are this weekend. If you have been following me since, oh, September, you are aware of all the players in the game and should have an understanding of my choices for winners. So, let’s get down to it. As before, I Bold what I want to want, and Italicize what I think will will. To save space, you can click hyperlinks of the major categories to find why I am voting the way I am instead of me just repeating myself.

Check back next week to see what it is! Thanks again!
