Metro Classics Picks the Oscar Winners (Well, Some of Them. . . Probably)

It's the Super Bowl for movie fans, where we enjoy the annual tradition of gathering in front of the TV, heckling the wardrobes, making sandwiches during the musical performances and complaining about all the films and performances that should have won but didn't, or didn't even get nominated in the first place. It's also about making a bunch of predictions about films you haven't seen in categories you know nothing about, and that's what we're going to do right now.
