Hooray for Hollywood.....Oscars are Sunday Night!



I feel as if I should do something about the Oscars since they are on Sunday.  Here’s my opinion, for whatever very very very little it’s worth.  Here are all the noms  if you are a sane person and don’t have them memorized.

Best Picture                                                                                                                               

Will Win: Slumdog Millionaire

And that’s all I’m guessing.  I’m not even going to pretend I can make an intelligent pick on the rest of the categories having a) not seen any of them (hello short films, hello foreign films) or b) don’t really pay well enough attention when I’m watching a movie to even start to pretend (hello, soundmixin?).
