Oscar Predictions

I wasn’t intending to formally publish my predictions for the Oscars that are less than two weeks away, but I gave up my picks on the Oscar Contest. Nick from Voucher Codes wanted me to publish my picks to enter another Oscar pool. I will do something a little different. I will have the vanilla predictions and the predictions that I want to see happen. I will publish the vanilla one for the Oscar Pool.
