Oscars Night

I will probably be watching this tonight. Unlike the Grammys, I believe in the Oscars and the integrity of the Academy. I actually believe that they get it right most of the time. The Grammys are a joke, for realz. Anyways, Im bored so I am going to predict the awards. I got almost all right on the Golden Globes (75%) but this are the Oscars. Quite different. Not.

Anyways, here are my predictions for tonight. Curious Case or Slumdog???? I dont know... fuck it... Slumdog
