It shows you how out of the Oscar game I have become over these past two years that it’s June and I’m just now releasing a set of Oscar predictions. This far out it’s always hard to tell what will make the final cut, so these predictions are always a mix of fantasy, some logic, and consensus stuff from other prominent bloggers. These aren’t full rankings, the only non major category I did was animated film, cause it was easy. Enjoy!
