Oscar predictions!

Okay, I have just enough time in my busy day to squeeze this post in. As some of you may know I am sans Internet at my apartment and now sans job so I'm spending only a limited amount of my time online every week. I have no idea if I'll be back on here before Sunday night so here are my Oscar predictions a few days early. Enjoy!

Alrighty, kids, this was one TOUGH year to predict let me just tell you. The crop of talent is mindboggling and if I'm wrong about every category it's because almost everyone nominated this year deserves to win. The Oscar voters had a difficult job and I won't be disgruntled with any of them should my peeps not land the big prize. I wish everyone the best of luck particularly DDL, Javi, Amy, the Two-Headed Director, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, Charles Ferguson, and Roger Deakins.
