Awards Outlook - Final, Totally-Not Stressful Oscars Predictions
Photo from Entertainment Weekly
Every year, I get more and more stressed every year about these picks and that is because every year I analyze even more and begin to tweak and second guess myself and this year was the pinnacle of those fears. Some of these predictions are surprises with a very close second place and so there is a chance that I score very low come Oscar night, but that is what makes all of this fun.
