Despite all the drama generating from the tiff between Cablevision and ABC, the show must go on. Sadly, I am a Cablevision subscriber, and will have to find other means to watching the Oscars (but, I’m hoping everything will be settled by tonight).
Anywho, below are my Oscars winner predictions (Predictions are in White). Sign off on your predictions. Let’s keep count during the awards, and see how many I predicted correctly.
As an added bonus to my readers, the nominees I would prefer to win are in Yellow. Why? Because, we all know that sometimes we just don’t agree with the judges.
