Angela's Oscar Predictions

This year probably is the year I have seen the least amount of Oscar-nominated films. But, that sure won't stop me from sharing my opinions on who I think is going to win and who I want to win. We'll see how my predictions shape up later on tonight when the Oscars air on ABC, hosted by Anne Hathaway and James Franco. That will be interesting to see in itself!
