Oscar Picks

Alright, so I gotta get this in before the Oscars go live, so this'll be quick. There's basically 3 picks for every category:

-Who I think deserves to win (D)
-Who I think they'll give it to (G)
-Who I'd like to see win (L)

The difference between "D" and "L" is that "D" is who i think did the best. "L" is just things I'd like to see win for personal reasons. For example, when WIll Smith was nominated for Ali, I put him as an "L" just because I've always respected Will Smith. Oh, and just a heads up, I haven't seen A LOT of the nominated movies.
