UNCLE OSCAR PREDICTIONS: ACADEMY AWARDS 2015
It has been a long journey. I have packed all my stuff and
I’m ready to go!!!
Neil is at the Dolby waiting for me!
I thought it would be easier but every year Movies surprise
me.
I’m in love with this hot Golden Statuette since forever, I
don’t remember a time, a moment a second in which I didn’t try to connect every
single movie to an Oscar nomination or a Golden Globe o a BAFTA a SAG and
others.
Like every year I try like everyone to predict the winner
but every year it seems more and more difficult.
I have tried to one name from each category
and here are Uncle Oscar’ predictions.
Remember, I do love long careers!
Here you can find not only MY PREDICTIONS but how I’ve
listed every single category.
enjoy and stay tuned
