It should be a very interesting show this year. The Best Picture isn’t even for sure this year. ---

Can anyone beat my record last year of 22 correct picks and only 2 wrong? ---

I’m assuming points trump picks though, right? (Although anyone getting all but two wrong is probably going to win no matter what.) ---
