OSCAR PREDICTION TIME

It's that time of year. YES THAT TIME OF YEAR.

Filmic (and otherwise) Awards Season is in FULL SWING and here are our own personal predictions for the nominees and eventual winners of the best (worst) awards of all, THE OSCARS!!!!!

We actually haven't seen about 99% of these films, but WE DON'T NEED TO.

These predictions are made using the very accurate and scientific art of looking who the frontrunners are on imdb.

We accept absolutely NO responsibility for having guessed COMPLETELY WRONG. So do not go betting money on any of the people below on the basis that we told you to, because even if you do sue us (which you won't) we have no money to give you.

BTW... Best Actress (as per usual) was the hardest to guess... we realise that Sally Hawkins and Kristin Scott Thomas are basically dark horses and not necessarily shoe-ins and that Meryl may win instead of Anne. Also Angelina Jolie, Melissa Leo and Michelle Williams are all also in with a chance apparently.

Elsewhere we don't care. Apparently it's been a good year for foreign language films, but we haven't seen any and Wall-E is pretty much GUARANTEED to get that Animated Feature whatsit.

As you were.
