It’s Academy Awards time!  It’s that weird awards show that usually disappoints but occasionally gets it right.  Some years the host can be pretty awesome and other years the host can be James Franco.  Whatever happens, there’s usually some good talking points after the show and if we’re lucky, some memorable speeches.

This year I didn’t get around to seeing two of the Best Picture noms before the weekend:  Her and Dallas Buyers Club.

Anyway, here are my tips for who will take out the biggest awards.
