I like the Oscars...

I'm not like one of those Oscar party people or anything, but I really enjoy film.  As soon as the Oscars become like the Grammys or they bring back Billy Crystal I will probably stop watching.  This really has nothing to do with Cleveland but I thought I would share my picks for the big ones this year...but impress your friends and go lay down some bets in Vegas because my shit is that dead on.
