Alright, it's that time again for Hollywood to pat itself on the back and hand little golden men to one another. Will Leo finally take home oscar gold? How many white jokes will Chris Rock make? How overly long will these oscars take? We'll find out this Sunday.
Make your choices below.
A little bit different from the last one. My picks for who I THINK should win are in ITALICS AND UNDERLINED and who I think they're going to PICK are in BOLD. Any choice that I think will be both mine and the academy's pick will be all BOLDED, ITALICIZED, AND UNDERLINED. Admittedly, I have not seen every single movie nominated and I left out the less popular categories, not because they're less important, but because I don't personally care enough or I haven't seen the movies in those categories. Anyone who has seen those movies from the categories or are interested in the ones I left out (interested in sound editing etc..) feel free to add to the discussion.
