Final Oscar Predictions

Here are my final Oscar picks.  If you're choosing your last minute choices for the Oscar Contest (you have about 24 hours left to enter), then take them with a grain of salt.  I'm kind of eh about this year's choices overall, but I think that last year too, which is depressing.  At any rate, here they are.  I hope I'm wrong about a few things so at least there will be some drama to be had.  (And you can see what four-time contest winner, Julie is predicting here.)
