The Vern predicts the Oscar Nominees…or so he thinks

So over on the site Film Actually Shane Slater has asked other writers to jot down their picks for the Academy Awards.  I’ll be honest with you. I have not seen many movies that were nominated, so most of my list is just what has won other awards. I do plan on seeing every single movie that is nominated before the big award show and will give you a post about my Oscar picks.
