Bare Bums on a hilltop?? Award winning craftsmanship?? Bloody poofters.

Now I know that there are many many sites banging on about the Oscars in a much more informed and detailed way than I ever could, but I thought I would provide a FLASH CARD guide to what is going to be going down on Sunday. Firstly all you need to know is that Bareback Mountain is widely believed to be the leading contender so expect a clean sweep for the cowboys. I really hope Crash gets best picture but I don't think it will. However go and see it immediately - I've told you about this film before. Anyway here are all the nominees for you for all the categories that matter and my prediction. Who do you think will win what?
