Leap Oscars
I was going to write a little something about it being February 29 - a leap day. But as it is, I’m sure that you all know that. However, it is also Oscar Night. And as usual I feel that I should post my hopefuls. In the past I made predictions - which really only mean anything if I had seen half of the movies being considered. Instead this year I will post who I would like to see win. As it turns out - I would like to see Return of the King win 11 awards. :) I will bold any results that I “got right” and insert the winner otherwise.
