Final Oscar predictions; for the record

Not much to say on this, I’ll just throw them in there, and here’s hoping for some surprises on Sunday night! The My vote section sticks only to the actual nominees. The most difficult category for me to predict is Original Song, as I refuse to think it’s that obvious. Easiest to predict: Visual Effects.

cheer up, Colin. It will all go well
