Welcome to my first annual
Academy Awards Prediction Special!
This is my first attempt at picking the winners of those famous gold "Oscar" trophies and I look forward to seeing who actually walks away with them. I have only included categories where I feel I can make a good decision while leaving out ones where I would only be guessing.
You will see the nominees for each category along with who I feel will ultimately win although you will not see who I feel is the most deserving of the awards. Those announcements will be saved for another post.
