Our guesses are probably as good as yours. Though we DID once win a contest the Village Voice had for picking Oscar winners.

The best thing about our choices is that they give you a great out…If you use our choices and you do terrible, just blame us. If you use ours and do well, it’s fine with us if you just take the credit…

[Update: The Oscars have now been given out, and we got 15 right and 9 wrong. We did well in most of the major categoriies, but blew the screenwriting awards, the two sound awards, and the one’s that are tough for most of us, the short films.]
