General Discussion

It's Oscar Time!

Alright film buffs, it's time to put your money where your mouth is. Every year film nerds debate endlessly about the Oscars. Should this person win? Should that film win? Does this even belong on the list? Do the Oscars even matter? At the end of the day, and no matter what you think about it, the Oscars are an important part of the film industry even if the results are frowned upon or praised. As film geeks we also like to one up each other so lets see who's the best and post your picks for the Oscar race.

The Format

Here is how I want you guys to format your picks. It makes it easier on everyone. Let me give you guys a small sample list and you guys can follow suit with your own choices. Please be of mind that this is NOT a discussion forum for the Oscars, it's just for your picks.
