2013 Academy Awards - Prediction Special

Welcome to the TwoOhSix.com second annual

Academy Awards Prediction Special!

This is my second 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.

There you have it! These are the movies, actors, and film makers that I am predicting will walk away with Oscar trophies on Sunday night.
