Oscar Predictions

We here at A Ragtag Group of Mediaphiles feel that not enough people will be making snarky comments about the oscar nominees, or incorrectly predicting the winners and then blaming it on the fact that the academy is so out of touch. Therefore we thought we'd make use of this thing called the internet to have our wrong predictions reach as many people as possible rather then just staying within our own living rooms. We'll narrow it down to a select few categories because let's face it, anyone who actually cares who the winner of the Sound Mixing category will be is either the sound mixer or their mother.
