Thanks to Bryant’s Oscar-prediction widget, I am listing my predictions for who’ll get what Oscars. Some of them are totally wild uninformed guesses, because who ever sees the best animated short films, or whatever. If I get a chance to see more of the movies before Oscars night, maybe I’ll do this again. :)
