What are your predictions?
So, I pondered... 
Looks like they have a lot of good competition this year. ^_^ Gravity is definitely going to win a chunk of awards. Frozen will definitely win something, too. I still haven’t seen it, but people won’t stop talking about it. I have a hard time sitting through the Oscars, but I check the results online afterwards. I’d love it Leonardo brought home the Oscar for Best Actor. He’s amazing. They really need to give him one. 🙂
Many people arr favoring Matthew McConaughey, but I think Leo stands a chance.
