My Oscar Picks.

Tonight's the big night and unfortunately I didn't get to see many of the movies or performances nominated for this year's awards. In fact, the only best picture nominee I saw was Brokeback Mountain. Having said that, though I have a pretty good idea of the way Oscar voters vote and things they look for. So it's going to be a big night for Brokeback Mountain.
