Add to Technorati FavoritesOSCAR PREDICTIONS


  • It's never too early - I've had them ready for a couple of weeks now, and today I improved the list.
  • Of course, I don't know anything for sure, but I have a GOOD track record on this. ;-)
  • Most of my predictions look very possible. Even the wins - That being said, a 4th win for Meryl, while I AM predicting it now, and while might be fully deserved, will surely prove a controversial one & will happen only in the light of poor competition. We'll see.


So here we go (predicted winners in blue):
