Unhappy's Oscar Picks...

I like the Oscars...the pageantry, the speeches and the emotions. It is the dream of every young person in the film business to win an Oscar. So I thought I would dole out the Oscars both as I feel they should be given and how I think they will be given...some are just best guesses. I didn't watch the short films or the Documentaries. I just didn't have the time but I'll pick them just to be consistent.

The back end of both are pretty much the same because I was mostly guessing. We'll see how I do tomorrow on the real ones but Mr. Unhappy picks are the ones that have already won...in my heart. Jesus that was sappy and pathetic.
