PREDICTING THE 2016 OSCARS WITH JOSH & JIM

By Josh Krubner & Jim Foote

It's that time of year, people. No, I'm not talking about MLB Spring Training. I'm talking about the award show of award shows where a bunch of celebrities blow each other whilst complaining about others who don't get in on the blow-bang. Josh will be writing up his own piece, a retrospective of sorts, looking at the Oscars as a whole. Until then, we're giving you our SUPER OFFICIAL predictions. Who will win? Well let's look at the picks. Afterwards, we can see how we did.

First thing to note is with some picks, we're both giving who/what we THINK will win, followed in parenthesis by who/what we WANT to win. So, remember. First THINK, then WANT.
