A Bruised Ego: The 85th Academy Awards- If I Picked The Winners

I enjoy the Oscars. They're fun if you don't take them too seriously. Sometimes it's nice when something you want to win does or an actor finally gets recognition. And naturally being a Hollywood awards show it all tends to be nice and fixed ahead of time by the Academy. But whatever, everything's political and controlled nowadays and there's not much we can do about it.

Except to offer our own opinions.

So I present to you what my personal picks would be for the Oscars this year. I've seen the majority of the main nominees and being a judgmental jerk I've predicted what movies won't win because they're either bad or simply don't have a chance in hell. For example, I haven't seen Flight with Denzel Washington, but my limited knowledge of that movie tells me it probably features a solid performance from him as always, but probably not truly Oscar worthy this time 'round.

I'm gonna skip a couple of the lesser-known awards like for Documentary and the Short Subjects mainly because I have next to no interest in them as films (not to be too disparaging of course).

Keep in mind, I'm not saying that these selections have ANY chance of winning, they're just my personal picks. And I'm only going to include names of people when I think they're significant or important. Also, I'm not gonna give super specific blurbs about any one of them, I'm just making a list. It's that simple.
