Welcome Lone Warrior
You've found yet another blog dedicated to predicting the Academy Awards (AKA: The Oscars). This is probably the most stupid and pointless game people play on the internet, seeing as how the Oscars aren't science and there are no rules, just guesses. Playing the Oscar prediction game is like playing roulette without being able to see the numbers, and you always end up looking like a fool at least once for predicting something that was just a bunch of hot air. But what the heck, it's also a lot of fun trying to predict nominations and wins off information that has nothing to do with anything. As with most Oscar sites I have my list of potential nominees on the right. Unlike many sites though, a guess won't appear until the movie has been released, otherwise I feed a hype machine that may have little merit to it. Anyway, hope you enjoy the blog.
