Less biased in some ways than the Oscars.....more biased in others. It's an annual labor of love. The 98th is not a fluke; there are noms and winners for every year from 1915. Winners and nominees for those years are available upon request. Most categories have ten contenders each this year. Any category may tie EXCEPT Best Picture. The winners will revealed no earlier than January 17 depending on how much fun or debate we are having. Posters are encouraged to predict or choose your own results from this list. As you'll quickly notice, the Ronalds are partial to thrillers.
