Oscars 2019
It is that time of year once again, and I have to say that this year was tough! There doesn't seem to be a true front-runner for most of the bigger categories; it's a crap shoot, to be honest! But, after much deliberation and many, many viewings, here are my predictions for this year's winners! Let's see how many I can get right! Last year I did pretty well, so we'll see if I can replicate it. Check back Monday for the results!
*UPDATED: The winners are in! Winners are in BLUE and my incorrect guesses are in
