OSCAR PREDICTIONS 2013
With a breath of unkempt tension followed by a potent exhale
that bordered more accurately on an exclamation, I mustered up energy earlier
today to yell ‘Oh shit, the Academy Awards are announced TOMORROW?!’ And so I proceed with my last minute, yet
not-too-loosely mused Academy Award Nomination…Predictions. Due to time restraint, my predictions state
the films themselves rather than the individual artists
It’s a carnival of maniacally talented people this year.
