My 2016 Oscar Predictions

The 85th Academy Awards® will air live on Oscar® Sunday, February 24, 2013.Oscar Sunday is finally upon us, which means it’s time for hours of diligent research into something no one will/should care about. Yes, I am once again chasing my white whale and attempting to go 24 for 24 for the first time ever. Like Leo, will this finally be the year I achieve cinematic supremacy? Or will I fall short yet again, only to be mauled by a bear and forced to sleep inside the carcass of my dead horse? Ok, perhaps that’s a bit dramatic. But what can I say, the short film categories are REALLY hard! So here they are, my incredibly nerdy, scarily accurate picks for the 88th Academy Awards…
