Katie's Oscar Picks

Let me just say that I saw all the Best Picture nominees this year, as usual. Dear God, what a crap year. Sure, I enjoyed them all, but the magic of years past was simply not there. Considering the epic summer we had, that's too bad. Unlike Lauren, I don't play this "who I think should win" game. As always, I haven't seen everything, and I don't like deciding what ought to be when I don't really know for sure. So here's what I think is going down on Oscar Night. Enjoy.
