Here we go again! It's that time of year when Hollywood Elite like to pat themselves on the back. Every year, I try to guess who will win in the major categories. And, like most of the past years, I have yet to see most of the movies. (To be quite honest, the only movie I saw in a theater in 2012 was Frankenweenie). So, here they are. As usual, my choices will be in bold text. Tomorrow, when the results are in, I will compare.
