So here are my Oscar picks. Here's hoping my picks for the winners are slightly more accurate than my picks for the nominations. For that matter, it's not 100 per cent certain how much of the Oscar broadcast we'll watch this year. For the first time in many, many years I've not seen one of the Best Picture nominees. And hell, The Amazing Race is on at the same time and I think I might prefer to watch that, especially considering how good last week's episode was (the bit with the cheese wheels was classic.)
Still, I'll tune in to see if Hugh Jackman can pull of hosting duties and probably mock some of the dresses. But other than making sure WALL-E wins Best Animated Picture, I'm just not that invested.
Anyway, here are my picks, based on what I've read, momentum, advertising campaigns and gut instincts.
