My 2013 Oscar Picks

I can’t say that I ever get the right picks during the Oscars, I get lucky a time or two and agree with the Academy on the winner. I pick from the gut though as to what I liked – and these are my picks for this year. I’ve printed out Pop Sugar 2013 Oscar Nominees ballot to keep track and highlighted the ones I’ve picked in pink (can’t find my purple highlighter – nuts!).

So there you have it. Those are the ones I am rooting for. Still a bit disgruntled about the fact that Twilight: Breaking Dawn 2 didn’t got a nod from the Academy. Say what you will Razzie Award people – it was totally NOT the worst movie of 2012.
