Preview For Our Oscar Coverage & Predictions

As we inch ever closer to next Sunday's Oscars, it's clear that we at SandwichJohnFIlms are still upset with some of their nominations.  Nevertheless, John and I are going to make our predictions in each of the seven major categories, and then tell you which ones we THINK the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will choose.  Until then, AMPAS and ABC have created an interactive link that allows you to choose and share your choices via Facebook.  If you'd rather choose from a smaller set of categories, visit this link.  Add us to your FB or Twitter posting, then follow our coverage online next Sunday.
