I love the Oscars. I love the red carpet fashion (mostly laughing at it). I love the celebrity gossip. I love the awkward acceptance speaches. But most of all, I love trying to predict who will win what and celebrating when my picks win. The only downside is I usually love the movies that The Academy hates and hate the movies the The Academy loves. Why is that? I like to think that I have a pretty decent taste in movies. Sigh. Oh well. I wanted to give you all my predictions anyway. Or at least for the “big” awards because lets face it, I don’t know to judge cinematography or production design and I don’t watch very many documentaries or foreign language films.
