Happy Oscar Weekend, everyone! It's a big day for us film geeks and cinephiles as we watch sometimes with pleasure, more often with frustration the annual, gaudy schlock-fest that is the Oscars.

I'd say you're definitely not wrong with most of this list, at least in the ones that really matter. Good prediction mate.
I hope your predictions come true but I think a lot of people don't put much stock in awards.
OH GOD Rango. All I know about it is how much drama it sparked by having so many characters smoke cigarettes or somethin'...
I have, sadly enough, not seen any of these. Someday though...or if it shows up on Netflix~!
You might just be right on with these. Too bad I don't have a place around to plunk some change down on some of these.
Looks like some good bets here
Well, will see...
