Oscar Predictions 2010
Ok here are my Predictions for the Academy Awards tonight. This year is extremely predictable yet I am not happy with my picks but this happens every year. I decided to go the Avatar route simply because I think the Academy cannot ignore the money and the whole ridiculous scandal and the Academy presidents are all current or former Fox members. So here we go. My pessimism will be the death of me I think with my choice of Avatar for Picture and for Cinematography.
