I’m interested in your opinions (unless they’re flagrant guessing, like mine). My office has an Oscar pool and I want to finish in the money this year.
Here’s a link if you don’t know who’s been nominated:

Well, last time I checked, I wasn’t up for anything, so screw 'em all!
My goal - 1000 posts before March 20th.
Help me out by starting topics suited to my abilities. Sports, money, politics, random things that require a funny yet totally pointless post.
You can make a difference in my post count.
No one will win “the Oscars” this year, or any year.
Manny folks will win “an Oscar” though.
It’s just me at my curmudgeony best!
Voted Best Sport
And narrowly averted the despised moniker Smiley Master
Forward deployed until 18AUG00
If this is your curmudgeonly best, Chief, it’s time to hit the woodshed and practice for 90 days.
The pronoun “who” can be singular or plural, and is clearly plural in this case. The topic line therefore means “which group of people/movies will win the Oscars this year?”
If you’re going to be a smartass in MY thread, swabby, you’d better be right! 
By the way, who is Manny Folks? He’s not on my list of nominees.
