Gay Christmas/Gay Superbowl Predictions

When I think back on 2011's year in film I would define it as the year of good, not great films and great performances in mediocre movies. For these reasons I must confess I was very bored by this year's Oscar race. I rarely blogged about this year in film and didn't even get around to seeing all nominated Best Pictures (but with Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close being nominated, can you blame me?)

That being said the Oscars and I have had a very loving relationship for the past 19 years and I could never turn my back on them. Ever! Although it will be tough to ever forgive them for giving Sandra "The Blind Side" Bullock an Oscar two years ago.

I look forward to tonight's ceremony with baited breath. I don't really care who people are wearing or their chosen Oscar date. But I do care about who wins as my party trick is knowing all Best Picture, Actor, & Actress winners ever and this does came in handy if you want to make a good impression/prove that you are borderline autistic at a party.

Without further ado these are my predictions for the 84th Annual Academy Awards.
