2008 Oscar “Predictions”
I am, by no means, an expert when it comes to predictions. Some of the films I haven’t even seen. But this is my blog and I do what I want. I only make “predictions” in 21 of the 24 categories. I exclude the three shorts: Documentary, Animated, and Live Action. Last year, I got 9 out of 21 correct and, as a result, had to make out with Rosie O’Donnell (though she denies it).
