Thank god the Oscars are here.
By that, I mean we’ll FINALLY stop hearing about how much Leonardo DiCaprio “deserves” an Oscar (Reminder: Ralph Fiennes still has yet to win an Oscar, so Leo apologists can STFU).
Anyway, we talked about our predictions on Friday’s “Pat & JT in the Morning.” And now I’ve got my predictions list together. Check it out! Please note: I didn’t include the entire list of Academy Award nominees. You can see the full list here. Also, I’ll have a follow-up post on Monday to discuss the overall show and my predictions!
