    I usually shy away from Oscar predictions because I’m usually pretty terrible at it, but then again, so is everyone else. No offense. The 4th and 5th nominees in each category are where it goes bad for everyone, so in that spirit, there are some left field predictions here. PICTURE DIRECTOR LEAD ACTOR LEAD ACTRESS…

    If you’re reading this, you’re probably in the playoffs. To that, I say, “CONGRATULATIONS!” Getting to the playoffs is no easy task.

    This matchup is VERY quick, lasting only three days! January 9 has NINE ceremonies scheduled, so that last day of the matchup is going to be absolutely wild.
