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.
